Whitey Ford - A Biography (Paperback)

Called the ""Chairman of the Board"" because of his remarkable
control in big-money games, Eddie ""Whitey"" Ford still holds the
record for World Series wins (10), and was Casey Stengel's ace
during much of the Yankees' historic mid-century pennant streak.
Off the mound, Whitey's carousing with Mickey Mantle was legendary,
and he, in many ways, symbolizes the excesses and good fortunes of
the Yankees during that era - living hard and winning often. This
book delves into the life and baseball career of Whitey Ford, the
Hall of Fame left-hander who helped the Yankees win 11 pennants and
six world championships. After a childhood in the New York
sandlots, he quickly worked his way through the Yankees farm system
and, when called up in 1950, won nine straight in a pennant race
and then won the final game of the World Series sweep of the
Phillies. He would go on to pitch for 16 seasons - all of them with
New York - and retire as the winningest pitcher in franchise
history. His story is detailed here with a generous helping of
play-by-play action and personal anecdotes. Seven appendices offer
Ford's career statistics and compare him to other great pitchers,
past and present.
