On this day in 1957 Yankees manager Casey Stengel is arrested
and released on a $50 bail after allegedly cursing and kicking a newspaper
photographer during an exhibition game in St. Petersburg.
Also on this day in 1951 Mickey Mantle hit a home run
estimated at 650 feet in an exhibition game against the University of Southern
California at Bovard Field. Mantle, a rookie, also had a single, triple, and
another home run in his first ever Yankees West Coast trip.
Finally on this day in 1936 the New York Yankees signed
future Hall of Fame pitcher Red Ruffing to a deal worth $12,000.
