This doubleheader took place on June 21, 1966. It is being recapped today as part of Camden Chat’s retro recap series while MLB is on hold due to the lockout.
Frank Robinson has become known for his bat this season. But it was his glove that made the difference at Yankee Stadium Tuesday afternoon.
Robinson robbed New York’s Roy White of a game-winning home run for the last out of the first game of a doubleheader, helping the Orioles to a 7-5 victory. The Yankees bounced back for an 8-3 victory in the nightcap.
