3/27 & 3/28 in Yankee History

2008: Brett Gardner and Cody Ransom are among the prospects reassigned by the Yankees to minor league camp.

2005: In a spring training game, Andy Pettitte, now in an Astros uniform, faces his former teammates for the first time. The veteran lefty allows but one hit the first time through the lineup, but Derek Jeter triples and Alex Rodriguez homers with two down in the third. The Yanks take the ballgame 7-4.

1948: Bill Sudakis, who was platooned at first base with Chris Chambliss in 1974 and also shared DH duties for the Yanks, is born. Happy 63rd, Bill!

1941: The Yankees sell pitcher Steve Sundra to the Senators on his 30th birthday. Sundra‚ 11-1‚ in 1939‚ slipped in 1940 to 4-6.

1879: Miller Huggins is born.

…and on the 28th…

2001: The Yankees trade 36-year-old Glenallen Hill‚ who hit .297 with 29 homers last season‚ to the Angels for minor-league outfielder Darren Blakely. Hill‚ taking the place of the
just-released Jose Canseco‚ will go 9-for-66‚ spend 5 weeks on the DL‚ and
get his release on the 1st of June.

1986: The Yankees and Red Sox swap designated hitters: Mike Easler goes to New York for Don Baylor.

1934: In a collision with Yankee catching prospect Norman Kies‚ 42-year-old Rabbit Maranville breaks his left leg sliding home on a double steal in an exhibition game against the Bombers. The Braves veteran is out for the season and will play just 23 games next year. He had broken his right leg in spring training of 1926. Meanwhile, Kies, who is only shaken up, will be released in a few days. 

1927: In a final exhibition match between last year’s series opponents‚ the Yanks score 4 in the first off the Cards Grover Cleveland Alexander.
Then Old Pete shuts down the Yanks until leaving in the 8th‚ and the Cards
score 2 in the 9th to win 6-4. Both teams use their regular lineups‚ the
only clubs to make no starting changes from last year’s rosters.
