The 1969 New York Yankees season was the 67th season for the team in New York….and its 69th season overall. The team finished in fifth-place in the newly established American League East with a record of 80–81….as they were 28½ games behind the Baltimore Orioles….for the Yanks were managed by Ralph Houk…..and played at Yankee Stadium. On August 8, 1969, Thurman Munson made his major league debut for the Yankees….and on June 14, 1969, Tom Tresh was traded by the Yankees to the Detroit Tigers for Ron Woods. On Mickey Mantle Day, June 8, 1969….in addition to the retirement of his uniform number 7….Mantle was given a plaque that would hang on the center field wall at Yankee Stadium….near the monuments to Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig and Miller Huggins. The plaque was given to him by Joe DiMaggio….and Mantle then gave DiMaggio a similar plaque, telling the crowd, “His should be just a little bit higher than mine.”
