This Day In New York Yankees History 11/7


On this day in 1963 Elston Howard is named the American League's Most Valuable Player becoming the first African American to win the award. Roger Maris won the award in 1960 and 1961, Mickey Mantle won it in 1962, so Elston became the third consecutive Yankee to win the award.

  3. Candlemanitis: definition: disease contracted from thinking they know what is appropriate and what is not. Leads to illusion that they can order people what to do.
