New York Yankees Flashback: Moose and Derek, Clete and Zim

With the New York Yankees playing their final season in the original Yankee Stadium, June 4, 2008, was a day where two of their players moved up the career lists of pinstriped accomplishments. In a 5-1 win over Toronto in Yankee Stadium, Mike Mussina first tied Jack Chesbro in 11th place among hurlers in Yankee starts; later he passed Bob Shawkey to take seventh place on the list of strike outs by Yankee pitchers. Also, Derek Jeter‘s third-inning rbi single off Jesse Litsch moved the captain and shortstop past Mickey Mantle into third place on the all-time Yankees hits list.
