1933 - Former Yankees INF Jerry Lumpe (1956-59) was born. Jerry Lumpe was one of many young Yankee infielders, who couldn’t break into the regular Yankee starting infield lineup of Manager Casey Stengel. He did appear in the 1957-58 World Series against the Braves. Jerry was blocked by Bobby Richardson at 2nd base. He was one of the young players along with Norm Siebern, Marv Thronberry, who were openly criticized by Casey Stengel in the media, as he stopped being a supporter of the Yankee youth movement, relying on veteran players instead. Casey on Lumpe to the media “Jerry Lumpe looks like the best hitter in the world until you put him in the lineup.” Also Jerry also had some contract money problems dealing with General Manager George Weiss, which Jerry commented “They really know how to make you feel not wanted.” Mickey Mantle helped him out one season by loaning him free use of his house in New Jersey for the season.

On May 26, 1959, Jerry has able to leave the Yankees, when he was traded along with pitchers Johnny Kucks and Tom Sturdivant to the Kansas City Athletics for pitcher Ralph Terry and INF/OF Hector Lopez. With the A’s, he became their regular 2nd baseman. His best MLB season would be with the Tigers in 1962, hitting. 302. He would later become a coach for the A’s, when Reggie, Rudi and others teased about his MLB career, Jerry just showed them his 1956 Yankees World Championship ring and the joking immediately stopped.

1934 - Yankees released veteran P George Uhle (1933-34). George came to the Yankees at the end of his long MLB career. He appeared in 22 games going 8-5 before finishing out his MLB career with the Indians in 1936.

1936 - The Yankees score 7 runs in the bottom of the 1st inning, but wind up on the short end of 11-9 score, against the White Sox at Yankee Stadium.

1938 - Former Yankees player, coach, Manager, General Manager and Special Advisor Gene “Stick” Michael (Player 1968-73, Coach 1975-78, Manager 1981-82).

In 1974, he was sharing the shortstop position with Jim Mason. Gene was traded to the Tigers in 1975. His favorite trick as a Yankee shortstop was known as the hidden ball trick, which caught quite a few AL base runners. After his active playing days were over, he rejoined the Yankees organization as coach and managed in their farm system. Currently Gene is a special advisor to the Yankees front office.

1940 - Former Yankees INF Horace Clarke (1965-1973) was born. Horace was signed as a free agent by the Yankees in 1958. Sadly he has been mislabeled by the media as a symbol of failure during the Yankee decline years (1965-1975). Fellow Yankee teammate Bobby Murcer describes him as “A 100% player. He wanted to play every day.” Horace led the AL 2B in assists for 6 straight seasons (1967-1972). In 1967, he led the AL 2B in fielding. Horace led the AL in bats in 1969 and 1970 seasons. His best Yankees season was in 1969, when he hit .285. Although, he only hit 27 HR’s in his MLB career, his first two HR’s were Grand Slams. During the 1970 season, he ruined 3 no-hit game bids in one month by pitchers Joe Niekro, Sonny Siebert and Jim Rooker. As Yankee, Horace appeared in 1,820 games from 1965 to 1974. He finished his MLB career in 1974 with the Padres with a lifetime BA of .256

2001 - At Yankee Stadium, Indians defeated Yankees, just in 5 ½ innings, when the game was called because of rain with Cleveland ahead, 7- 2. In a rarity, Cleveland starter C.C. Sabathia earned a win despite pitching only 4 innings. Relief pitcher Ricardo Rincón got the save retiring the side in the 5th inning. The baseball rules state that in a five-inning game, a starter need not go the full five to earn a victory. Baseball historian David W. Smith noted that there are just 5 other cases since 1978 to match the Sabathia feat.

2003 - Former Yankees OF/INF Johnny Hopp (1950-1952) passed away (1916-2003). John was purchased from the Pirates in September 1950; Johnny hit .333 down the stretch to help the Yankees.

He gave the Yankees 10 strong seasons (1915-1925) after being obtained from the Tigers.

Red Sox P Ken Holcombe entered the game to relieve Ellis Kinder; Yankees Manager Casey Stengel replaced Verdi with Bill Renna. Verdi never appeared in a MLB game again. After his playing career was over, he became a Minor League Manager. He was with the Yankees organization from 1963 to 1972.
