Very cool, thanks for posting. I've always thought he was a borderline HOFer. He was not only a great starter but he also closed games effectively. His world series numbers a very strong and he threw two no-nos in a single season. With he, Steady Eddie Lopat, Vic "Springfield Rifle" Raschi and eventually Whitey Ford, its not hard to see how the Yanks won 5 in a row. But for an injury resulting from a bus accident he might have put up the additional numbers to put him in Cooperstown.
