On this
day in 1996 David Cone shut down the Atlanta Braves in Game 3 of the 1996 World
Series with the Yankees down two games to none. This would be the first of 14
consecutive World Series games victories for the Yankees before the New York
Mets ended the streak in the 2000 Subway World Series.
Also on
this day in 1995 the Yankees hired a new GM, replacing Gene Michael, in former
Astros GM Bob Watson. Watson would only last two years in the Bronx before the
Brian Cashman regime started after being upset with the "chain of
command" in the Yankees organization, I think that probably means George
Steinbrenner. Watson would be the GM when the Yankees would win their first
World Series in 1978 when they were crowned the 1996 champions.
