1998...The Yanks win, 5?2, over the Devil Rays and post their 11th win of the year, surpassing the club record 110, set by the 1927 team. Shane Spencer pounds a grand slam, his 8th homer in 57 at bats.>>>> 1978
Ron Guidry (23?3) gains his 3rd 2-hit shutout of the month, 4?0 over the Indians. The two Indian hits are by Duane Kuiper, the 2nd time this year that he has recorded the only hits in a game. The Yankees ace also two-hitted the Red Sox on September 9th (7?0) and 15th (4?0). It is Guidry's 9th shut out of the year, a Yankee record, and just one short of the American League record for southpaws set by Boston lefty Babe Ruth in 1916. The Red Sox stay one game in back of New York by topping Toronto 7?6. >>>>>>>>>>>>>1960
Mickey Mantle's 11th inning homer off Ted Wilks gives New York a 6?5 win over the Red Sox at Fenway. Mantle had driven in the games first run with a drag bunt in the first.>>>>>>>>>>>>> 1958
The Red Sox close out their home schedule with a 7?5 loss to the Yankees. Mickey Mantle cracks his 42nd homer of the year to put him three ahead of Rocky Colavito, who will finish at 42 home runs.>>>>>>>>> 1957 The Yankees clinch their 23rd pennant and 8th under Casey Stengel, as Kansas City tips the White Sox 6-5>>>>>>>1946
Disappointing on the field, the Yankees nevertheless finish their home season with a 2,309,029 attendance. The best previous draw was the 1929 Cubs at 1,485,166. Total ML attendance was 18.5 million, 80 percent more than 1945. >>>1927
The Yankees win their 106th, 6-0 over Detroit, for a new AL high. They will win 110, a record until the 1954 Indians win 111.
