Welcome to the relaunched This Day in Yankees History. With the start of the 2020 season delayed for the foreseeable future for the next couple weeks, the Pinstripe Alley team decided to revive the program in a slightly different format. These daily posts will highlight two or three key moments in Yankees history on a given date, as well as recognize players born on the day. Hope you enjoy this trip down memory lane with us!
