Why did Yogi Berra get fired from the New York Yankees?
Berra was hired by the Yankees as their manager after his playing career ended with the 1963 World Series. In August 1964, there was an incident on the team's bus after a loss when infielder Phil Linz played his harmonica. Berra ordered him to stop but, being seated on the other side of the bus Linz couldn't hear him and Mickey Mantle told Linz that Berra said to play louder. Linz did so and Berra slapped the harmonica out of his hands. All was forgotten and the Yankees rode a September surge to go to the World Series, but they lost to the Cardinals in seven games. Berra was fired. It was later learned that GM Ralph Houk was ready to fire Berra midseason, since he had no control over the team. Berra returned to the Yankees to manage the 1984 season, agreeing to staying for the 1985 season after being assured he wouldn't be fired. The impatient Steinbrenner did fire Berra, though, after the 16th game of the season
Who did the New York Yankees last play in the World Series?
It was left field by committee for the 1961 Yankees as Yogi Berra (78 starts), Hector Lopez (54 starts), and Bob Cerv (24 starts) all saw action. In the 1961 World Series, won by the Yankees in 5 games over the Cincinnati Reds, Berra started Games 1-4 and Lopez started Game 5.
Was Elston Howard the first African-American to play for the New York Yankees?
Research shows Elston Howard was the first African American to play for the Yankees when he joined the team in 1955 as a 26 year old rookie. Howard played in 97 games that season, but only 9 as a catcher (the Yanks had Yogi Berra, who won the MVP that year), he was an outfielder in 75 games. Howard hit .290, with 10 home runs and 43 RBIs.
