Behind rookie Mel Stottlemyre’s two-hitter, the Yankees roll over the Senators, 7 – 0, for their 11th win in a row. Stottlemyre leads the offense with a major league record-tying five hits, the last pitcher to collect that many and just the 8th pitcher this century to do so (Jim Callahan of the White Sox did it twice). With a single in his last at bat in his last game, he’s had six hits in a row.
1964 – On Elston Howard Night, the Yankees take two from Boston, 10 – 2 and 6 – 1. Joe Pepitone’s three home runs, including a grand slam, and Roger Maris’s six singles lead the offense. Mickey Mantle hits home run number 447 in the opener and ties Babe Ruth’s career strikeout record (1,330) in the nightcap.
On the New York team bus following a 5 – 0 White Sox win, Phil Linz begins to play “Mary Had a Little Lamb” on his harmonica. Manager Yogi Berra orders Linz to stop, then slaps the instrument out of his hands when he continues playing. The incident is reported as indicating dissension on the club and Berra’s lack of control, as well as the level of Linz’s humor.
1964 – Mickey Mantle sets a major league record when hits a home run from both sides of the plate for the 10th time in his career. Mantle hits a left-handed homer off Ray Herbert over the 461-foot marker in centerfield that lands 15 rows into the bleachers, 502 feet from the plate.
