 We want to pay tribute to a former Yankees, Phil Linz. On Thursday, it was reported that Linz had passed away at the age of 81. He only played four seasons with the Yankees, but he was a member of their 1962 World Championship Club as a rookie. And two years later, he earned a permanent spot in franchise lore. During a rough patch in 1964, Linz infuriated manager Yogi Berra, when after being goaded by Mickey Mantle, he loudly played a harmonica on the team bus following a tough loss in mid-August. But the Yankees went 30 and 13 over the remainder of the season to win the American League pennant, and the harmonica incident was never forgotten. The Yankees traded Linz to the Phillies after the 1965 season, and the last three years of his career were split between the Phillies and the Mets.
