1950

Johnny Mize hits three home runs in one game for the sixth time in his career, establishing a major league record. The first baseman's offensive output, which makes him the second player to accomplish a three-homer game in both leagues along with Babe Ruth, isn't enough when the Yankees lose at Detroit at Briggs Stadium, 9-7.  1950 Johnny Mize Baseball Card (Bowman #139)

1958

Snuffy Stirnweiss dies when the New Jersey commuter train he is riding plunges off the CRRNJ Newark Bay Bridge between Elizabethport and Bayonne. The 39 year-old former All-Star infielder, who played with the Yankees, Browns, and Indians, led the American League in hitting with a .309 average playing for New York in 1945.

1996	In a 16-6 rout of the Tigers, the Orioles break the major league record for team home runs in a season, passing the 1961 Yankees mark of 240.

2010

Rays skipper Joe Maddon is tossed from the game when Derek Jeter, giving an Oscar-worthy performance at home plate, is awarded first base by the umpires who rule the pitch thrown by Chad Qualls hit the New York shortstop. Video replay of the at-bat, which clearly shows the fastball hit the knob of the bat, prompts a national debate about the ethics demonstrated by the usually squeaky-clean Yankees captain, who admitted after the 4-3 loss to Tampa that he pretended to get hit by the pitch to get on base.
