About Whitey Ford

During his remarkable career, he helped New York win six World Series championships and appeared on 11 American League pennant-winning teams.

Ford finished his career with 236 victories and a 2.75 earned run average. He was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1974, alongside longtime teammate Mickey Mantle.
