Welcome To Today In Yankees History
by Kenny Rogers
Yankees 6-10. Lose to Atlanta 1-4, now 6-11.
946 | Frank Hayes establishes a major league record for catchers when he plays in the last of 312 consecutive games behind the plate. The 31-year-old Indian backstop's streak began on October 2, 1943, when he started for the Browns on the final day of the season at Yankee Stadium. |
1994 | At the Metrodome, switch-hitting DH Eddie Murray knocks a home run from both sides of the plate in the Indians' 10-6 win over the Twins. 'Steady Eddie' has gone deep batting both left-handed and right-handed in the same game eleven times, breaking the previous record established by Yankee legend Mickey Mantle in 1964. |
