My teddy bear Goffa doing alot better than those damn Yankees.

Yankees lose 10-5 to the Tampa Bay, 3 straight loses, now 16-9. They beat up on the Redsox but can't beat Tampa. 

What's wrong with them?

1938First baseman Lou Gehrig hits the final grand slam of his career in the Yankees' 11-3 rout of the A's at Shibe Park. The first-inning blast, given up by Philadelphia's right-hander Buck Ross, extends the 'Iron Horse's major league record for bases-loaded home runs to 23, a mark that will be surpassed in 2013 by fellow Bronx Bomber Alex Rodriguez.

1946Before the start of the game against the Senators at Griffith Stadium, Bob Feller's fastball is clocked at 98.6 miles-per-hour using the U.S. Army's Sky Screen Chronograph. The speed of the Indians right-hander's ball breaks Atley Donald's record of 94.7 mph, established by the Yankee hurler in 1939

2000The Yankees honor Whitey Ford, their winningest pitcher in franchise history, is honored during ceremonies on his day at Yankee Stadium. The crafty lefty holds the team record for victories (236), innings pitched (3,170 1/3), strikeouts (1,956), and shutouts (45).

2012The official first-day-of-issue dedication ceremony for the Major League Baseball All-Stars Forever stamps takes place at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, NY. The popular philatelic series based on historic photographs honors Yankee Joe DiMaggio, Larry Doby of the Indians, Willie Stargell of the Pirates, and Red Sox legend Ted Williams.
