Leave it to the Yankees to have two historic moments occur on the same day. On May 14, 1967, Mickey Mantle blasts his 500th home run. Exactly 29 years later, Dwight Gooden no hits the Mariners in a 2-0 victory at the stadium.
It was the bottom of the seventh inning with two outs against the Orioles, the Yankees were holding on to a 5-4 lead and The Mick had worked Stu Miller to a full count. Mantle launched a bomb deep into the right field stands, number 500. He joined Babe Ruth, Jimmie Fox, Mel Ott, Ted Williams and Willie Mays as the sixth player in the 500 home run club.
