	Red Ruffing - Definition, explanation
		Ruffing's career was renewed by a mid-season trade in 1930 which sent him to the New York Yankees.
		Ruffing eventually turned into an ace, winning 20 games or more four times in a row from 1936 to 1939, and striking out a league high 190 batters in 1932.
		After missing the 1942 and 1943 seasons due to the war, Ruffing was unable to regain his ace material upon returning in 1945.

		Ruffing was a talented righty who struggled early in his career mostly due to forces beyond his control — bad defense behind him, and little run support.
		Ruffing did all this while standing on a left foot that was missing four toes, the result of a mining accident.
		The Red Sox exorcised the curse that never was seven years later, and the Yankees saw their dynasty end after the 2001 season, with their pitching decaying ever since.

		Red Lucas is the all-time champion among the pinch-hitting pitchers.
