July 1, 1973. It was a big day for the Bronx Bombers as they drubbed the Tribe 11-3. Bobby Murcer, Ron Blomberg and Roy White all went deep for the Yankees. Bell went 1-for-4 and hit a sac fly in the second inning that at the time tied the score at 2-2.
In other news, the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) was created within the Department of Justice; the US Military officially became all-volunteer, Loyola and Marymount universities merged, and the Rev. Sun Myung Moon's Divine Principle (Black Book) was published, introducing the Unification Church to Americans.

Buddy Bell was my favorite Ranger when i was a kid. He was a really good third baseman for Texas and most of the time our only All-Star.
