On this day in Yankee history...
1907: Spud Chandler is born.

1914: Roger Peckinpaugh replaces Frank Chance as Yankee manager. The 23-year-old shortstop becomes the youngest manager in ML history, and the 7th in the club's 12-year existence. He will win 9 of 17 games and will manage next at Cleveland in 1928.
1916: Charlie 'King Kong' Keller is born.

1932: With their 100th victory of the year, the Yankees clinch their 7th AL pennant, as George Pipgras beats the Indians 8-3 at Cleveland Stadium. Joe McCarthy, who captured a flag with the Cubs in 1929, becomes the first manager to win pennants in both the American and National Leagues.

1990: Steve Adkins doesn't allow a hit in his major league debut, but he walks 8 batters in just 1 1/3 innings, as Texas win 5-4. Adkins walks the first three batters, then retires the side. After a fly out in the 2nd, he walks the next five before being lifted, two shy of Dolly Gray's ML consecutive walk record.

2000: Darryl Strawberry, already under suspension, is sentenced to two years' house arrest after admitting he violated probation by driving under the influence of medication and leaving the scene of an accident.
2013: The Yankees beat the Orioles 6-5 as their newest player, shortstop Brendan Ryan (acquired in a trade three days earlier) scores the winning run in the 9th. He opens the inning with a single and reaches third when O's closer Jim Johnson throws Chris Stewart's bunt into center field. Johnson then bounces a pitch to the screen to allow Ryan to score. The loss is a letdown for Baltimore, as Danny Valencia had tied the game with a three-run homer off David Robertson in the 8th.
