1998 Yankees Diary, July 20: That’s a lot of baseball

I think it’s safe to assume that, if you’re reading a daily series that details the events of baseball games played a quarter century ago, you like baseball. In that case, you’d very much enjoy the events of July 20, 1998.

Back in April 1998, a chunk of concrete and metal fell from the rafters at Yankee Stadium, prompting the league to play a pair of Yankees home games against the Angels in Shea Stadium and swap the locations of the two Yankees/Tigers series that year. That scheduling change resulted in a doubleheader scheduled for July 20th, with the first game scheduled to start at 4:06 pm ET.
