If Derringer played for the Yankees or Cards post 1934, he'd be a HoFer no problem. Instead, he had 3 great years with a superb Red team and then he was past his prime. Too bad, great earned run average, tough attitude and the guy could pitch 11 inning each time he walked on the field. If he was as lucky as Lefty Gomez as to be with the Yankees, it would be a different story.
