Question
Good evening George!!! I have a trivia question on the New-York Yankees and I need you're help!!! Since 1923, what is the only manager of the New York Yankees have not lost a game at Yankee Stadium? Thank you!!! Tino

Answer
I am certainly not a trivia expert especially with regard to a question such as this however I would say possibly Don Zimmer when he was the interim manager of the Yankees in 1999 - good question!

By the way, if you are interested in the Yankees - you may wish to take a look at www.timelessbaseball.com - Around the League 1939-46

Color footage of the 1940 Yankees taking batting practice at Griffith Stadium - including COLOR footage of Joe DiMaggio, Bill Dickey and Lefty Gomez pitching batting practice - believe it or not!

Or the answer to your trivia question may be Art Fletcher in 1929
