July 20, 1987

              It was on this date in 1987 that New York Yankee first baseman Don Mattingly tied a Major League record by recording 22 put outs in one game, against the Twins in Minnesota’s Metrodome. The record had been previously set in 1906 by another Yankee first baseman, Hal Chase.

              Although Mattingly was 0 for 4 at the plate, the Yankees still won the game 7-1.
