"I saw him Pitch (1947-1955) and I followed his Coaching career (1961-1975)…. and unless you did too, you're not knowledgeable enough to form an opinion."
Then why ask the question, Ted? It's already the Hall of Really Good. Do you want to make it the Hall of Pretty Good?
And in answer to your question about 1961, Ford won 25 games because he had his most starts ever(Casey Stengel was gone and Ralph Houk let Ford pitch every fourth day and the season went from 154 to 162 games), had a great run producing team, and had two expansion clubs join the AL. His ERA was the highest of his career.
