On this day in 1996 the Yankees showed how much of a
"never count us out" team they really were when they behind early
only to come back with nine runs in the sixth inning. The Yankees would win the
game 11-9 at Jacobs Field over the Cleveland Indians and it would complete the
first time the Yankees would sweep the Indians in Cleveland in a four game series since 1964.
Also on this day in 1950 the Detroit Tigers and the New York
Yankees combined for 11 home runs in a nine inning game, a major league record
for the most in a single game. Hoot Evers hit the historic home run as a walk
off home to give the Tigers a very dramatic 10-9 victory over New York.
Finally on this day in 1915 the Philadelphia Athletics
pitcher Bruno Hass made his major league debut against the New York Yankees at
the very historic Shibe Park. The good news was the 24 year old southpaw, known
as Boon, tossed a complete game in the contest and in the start established a
post-1900 major league record. The bad news was the record was for issuing 16
walks during the nine inning game in a 15-7 loss to the Yankees.
