Today in Yankees History
March 1st
| 1969 | Citing "I can't hit when I need to," Mickey Mantle announces his retirement, thus ending his fabled Hall of Fame career. The oft-injured Yankee slugger ranks third, behind Babe Ruth and Willie Mays, on the all-time home run list with 536 round-trippers, and finishes his 18-year stay in the majors with a .298 batting average.  |
| 1993 | Yankee owner George Steinbrenner, two and half years after accepting a life-long ban from being involved in the team's day-to-day operation, is reinstated by major league baseball. 'The Boss' had been exiled from baseball by commissioner Fay Vincent in 1990 for hiring Howie Spira, a known gambler, to snoop into the life of star outfielder Dave Winfield. |
