Happy birthday to me, Kenny Rogers. Sad, nobody in my building wished me a Happy Birthday. 

Maybe they forgot or just didn't care.

 

Today in Yankees History Aug 15

Clint Frazier homered, drove in five and made a diving catch filling in for injured right fielder Aaron Judge, Gary Sanchez went long in his third straight game, and New York overcame the loss of AL batting leader DJ LeMahieu to beat the Boston Red Sox 11-5 Saturday night.

Frazier had three hits, including a three-run drive, and matched a career high in RBI. Gio Urshela also homered for the Yankees, and Tyler Wade delivered an RBI double after replacing LeMahieu, who left with a sprained left thumb in the sixth inning and could be headed for the injured list.

New York has beaten Boston in eight straight meetings, its longest winning streak in the rivalry since 1985. The Yankees improved to 14-6 in this pandemic-shortened season -- the franchise's best 20-game start since going 17-3 in 2003 -- despite losing Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, Aroldis Chapman and now LeMahieu to injury or illness.

Yankees starter James Paxton (1-1) allowed three runs in five innings.

1995

"For a huge portion of my generation, Mickey Mantle was that baseball hero. And for reasons that no statistics, no dry recitation of facts can possibly capture, he was the most compelling baseball hero of our lifetime. And he was our symbol of baseball at a time when the game meant something to us that perhaps it no longer does."- BOB COSTAS, delivering the eulogy at Mickey Mantle's funeral. At the request of the Mantle family, Bob Costas delivers the eulogy at Mickey's funeral. The popular broadcaster, known for his love of the game and his admiration of the Yankee superstar, describes the Hall of Famer as "a fragile hero to whom we had an emotional attachment so strong and lasting that it defied logic."

1999	In the first frame of Anaheim's 10-2 victory in Detroit, Chuck Finley becomes the first major league hurler in history to strike out four batters in one inning twice in his career. The Angels' southpaw also accomplished the feat against the Yankees earlier in the season on May 12.
