THIS DAY IN SPORTS HISTORY- JULY 30

Old Timers Day: #1

"Introducing, and announced at the same moment that the manager of the Yankees for the 1980 season and hopefully many years after that, will be, #1 Billy Martin."

- Bob Sheppard (Yankee P.A. announcer)

In 1978, George Steinbrenner named Billy Martin the Yankees' "manager of the future" with an Old-Timers day reintroduction at Yankee Stadium to the pleasure of Yankee fans.
