On this day in 2009 Alex Rodriguez made his season debut and
wasted no time hitting a three run home run on the very first pitch he saw. The
blast helps the Yankees beat the Orioles 4-0 and snap the Yankees five game
losing streak.
Also on this day in 1961 the Yankees trade fire-baller Ryne
Duren, relief pitcher Johnny James and outfielder Lee Thomas to the Angels for
right hander Tex Clevenger and outfielder Bob Cerv. This would be the third
time that Cerv would be a member of the Yankees. Duren would spend two seasons
with the Angels and post an 8-21 record but would set an AL record for striking
out seven consecutive batters with the team.
Now I can honestly say I can predict what you will write about on May 8 bc it's still May 7th and I know!
