I'm older than most on this forum; therefore, I was very fortunate to see these Yankee greats pitch. I became an avid Yankees fan while watching the 1947
World Series. In my book, it is one of the most exciting World Series.
From 1947 - 1952 Reynolds and Raschi each won 105 games (while losing less than 50). Lopat won 81, lost 43 (1948 - 1952).
And, Joe Page saved the day for these guys (1947 - 1951) many, many times. Joe was the quintessential Relief pitcher in those days. On quite a number of
occasions, I recall Joe coming to the mound in the 6th inning and shutting down the opposing team without allowing them a Hit in 4 innings. He certainly was
my favorite pitcher in those days. Furthermore, he wore my favorite number....
11.
