"If the World Series was on the line and I could pick one pitcher to pitch the game, I'd choose Whitey Ford every time." - Mickey Mantle

Born: October 21, 1928 in New York, NY us

Generally considered to be the greatest starting pitcher in the history of the New York Yankees, Whitey Ford was among the premier hurlers of his time. A fierce competitor and a master of the mental aspects of pitching, Ford won more games (236), threw more shutouts (45), struck out more batters (1,956), and pitched more innings (3,171) than any other Yankee hurler, while also establishing World Series records for most wins (10), losses (8), games started (22), innings pitched (146), and strikeouts (94). The fact that the left-handed-throwing Ford had the good fortune to spend his entire career pitching for the dominant team of his era in a ballpark that boasted distant outfield fences in left field and left-center field certainly aided his numbers considerably. Nevertheless, Ford's overall effectiveness as a hurler is indisputable. He compiled an ERA under 3.00 in 11 of his 16 seasons, never allowing the opposition more than 3.24 runs per nine innings in any single campaign. Ford's lifetime 2.75 earned run average is the lowest among starting pitchers whose careers began after the advent of the Live Ball Era in 1920. His career record of 236-106 gives him a lifetime winning percentage of .690 – the third best all-time, and the highest of any modern pitcher with at least 200 wins. He allowed an average of only 10.94 base runners per nine innings, and his 45 career shutouts included eight 1-0 victories. Ford accomplished all this despite possessing only average physical size and athletic ability.

On October 12, 1971 The Baltimore Orioles took the first games of the World Series out scoring the Pittsburgh Pirates 16-6. Game 3 shifted to Three Rivers Stadium and with Steve Blass available, The Pirates were up 2-1 in the Bottom of the 7th as Frank Robinson had just homered to make it a one run game for the Orioles. But The big blow was about to be provided by  Bob Robertson, Robertson had hit 53 homeruns over the past 2 seasons and drove in 150+ runs in less than full time duty

slammed a three-run home run in the seventh off starter Mike Cuellar—after missing the bunt sign.

Manager Danny Murtaugh issued the sign to Robertson, who had no sacrifice bunts on the season. Television replays showed Roberto Clemente, who was on second base, appearing to call a timeout, but Cuellar was already in his windup at the time. Blass was sitting next to Murtaugh in the dugout at the time, and told the Pirate manager: "If you fine him (Robertson, for missing the bunt sign), I'll pay." Murtaugh didn't.

New CBB Podcast Intro

On October 9, 1956 --In a 10-inning scoreless pitching duel with both starters going all the way, Jackie Robinson's walk-off single to left in the bottom of the 10th won the game for Clem Labine and kept the Dodgers' championship hopes alive. Tough-luck loser Bob Turley gave up a 10th-inning walk to Jim Gilliam, a sacrifice bunt by Pee Wee Reese and intentional pass to Duke Snider before the decisive hit. Game 6 is one of only three games in World Series history to be scoreless through nine innings, the others being Game 2 in 1913 and Game 7 in 1991.
