American Hall of Famer and New York Yankees pitching legend nicknamed 'The Chairman of the Board' whose control, poise and championship performance produced 236 career wins and six World Series rings.
Whitey Ford was the New York Yankees' greatest pitcher, the 'Chairman of the Board' who holds the World Series records for wins and strikeouts. A master craftsman rather than a power pitcher, Ford's exceptional command, intelligence, and ability to perform in October — he was 10-8 in the World Series — made him the quintessential big-game pitcher. The 1961 Cy Young Award winner was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1974.
