This Day in Yankees History: Joe Torre, Don Zimmer, and the series finale

Welcome to the final edition of This Day in Yankees History. On March 16th of last year, Pinstripe Alley began a daily look at the long history of this great franchise, mostly as a way to provide you all with some form of entertainment during the long stretch without baseball during the pandemic. We hope you’ve enjoyed the journey, as now, we’ve finally hit a full year and the end of the road for this series. Thank you all for taking the trip with us!
