August 25, 1968 – Tigers vs. Yankees – Game 1

August 25, 1968 By Steve Albin

Another Sunday doubleheader! This one to close out the 4 game sweep the Yankees accomplished over the first place Tigers. Most exciting about this game was the newly acquired Rocky Colavito coming in to pitch in the 4th inning. Steve Barber gave up the fifth run and since the Yankees were playing the 4th of […]

During this weekend, I was lucky enough to visit with my grandmother in the Bronx which enabled me to catch 3 out of 4 games the Yankees won from the 1st place Detroit Tigers.
