I bet I saw more Whitey Ford starts than any pitcher since. My father took me to nearly every Sunday doubleheader at Yankee Stadium for many years. He always seemed to be pitching.
RIP

A real dumpster fire and it's early October. Plenty of year left. RIP Whitey

Another sad day for baseball.
I will always think of Whitey and Mickey together. Hard to believe it has been 25 years since Mantle died - seems like yesterday. |

Now he can be reunited with his old battery mate, Yogi. The Board of Directors has held its final meeting.

91. I mean, that cornfield in Iowa exists for a reason. We get only so much time. Tom, Bob and Whitey used their times well.

Once they were giants, now they are teammates once again.

Whitey passed on October 8th...64 years to the day from Don Larsen's perfect game in 1956. He was warming up in the bullpen in case Larsen faltered in the 9th.

Wish I could have seen him pitch during his career. But I did get to see him at Yankees Old Timer's Days, including in 1973 when Whitey grooved a few for his buddy Mick, who then hit the last home run he ever hit in Yankee Stadium.
Rest in peace to a baseball legend... |
