		Whitey Ford was the "money pitcher" on the staff of the great Yankee teams of the 1950s and early 1960s.
		Whitey Ford paced the American League in victories three times, and in ERA and shutouts twice.
		In 1955 Whitey Ford started and won Game One and was saved by Stengel and used in Game Six, where he also started and won (a complete game four-hitter).

		A native New Yorker, Ford was spotted at a Yankee Stadium tryout by veteran scout Paul Krichell.
		Krichell immediately told Ford that he was being switched from first base to pitcher for three reasons: (1) he was too short to play first, (2) he couldn’t hit, and (3) “even when you’re throwing the ball around, you’re pitching curves.” Said Krichell: “I never saw a kid with a curveball like his.
		And I knew he had the guts to be a pitcher.” Ford signed a Yankee contract in early 1947 and was sent to Butler, of the Class C Mid-Atlantic League, where he went 13-4 with a 3.84 ERA.

		Ford had only one season where his ERA was less than 25 percent better than the league average; and it was still a better-than-average 3.25 in 1965, despite being the highest of his 16-year career.
		Ford's career winning percentage of.690 is so impressive you have to look to Pedro Martinez, who has 1,279 fewer innings pitched, 179 fewer games started and 84 fewer wins before you find a higher one.
		Ford retired in 1967 after an elbow injury and was elected into the Hall of Fame shortly after becoming eligible.

		While Ford’s 20th-century best.690 winning percentage (Pedro and Tim Hudson are currently ahead of him, but neither has yet reached his decline stage) was not helped by his manager’s choice of opponents, it was certainly helped by his teammates.
		Whitey probably received as much run support in his career, relative to his league, as any pitcher in history.
		Whitey was also helped by pitching in Yankee Stadium, a very good park for a lefty pitcher.

	Whitey Ford
		He had a terrific supporting cast, a great defense behind him, and he pitched in the ultimate pitcher's park, so Ford's career winning percentage and ERA should be taken with a bushel of salt.
		Through 1960, Yankee manager Casey Stengel limited Ford's starts, often resting him at least four days between appearances, and aiming him for more frequent use against better teams.
		In 1961 new manager Ralph Houk put him in a regular four-man rotation, and Ford led the AL in starts (39) and innings pitched (283) and earned the Cy Young Award with a 25-4 record, leading the ML in wins and percentage.

		But there's no denying the fact that Edward Charles "Whitey" Ford was a winner, a fierce competitor, one of the dominant pitchers of the 1950s and early '60s and one of the greatest lefthanders of all time.
		Whitey Ford and others played in an era of one-year contracts, when market value applied more to peaches than to players.
		And if you had a good year, the owners had to pay you more because, ultimately, the press would get wind of it and make it public." Ford's lifetime record was 236-106; for pitchers with more than 200 wins, his.690 winning percentage is the best in the 20th Century.

	Everlast : Whitey Ford Sings the Blues (Clean) - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		While 1989/1990's Forever Everlasting was a decent, if uneven, debut, Everlast's second solo album, Whitey Ford Sings the Blues is an amazingly eclectic gem that finds him really pushing himself creatively.
		Everlast, who was born with a heart defect, was in the process of recording the album when he needed life-saving open-heart surgery; in fact, he was lucky that he was around to see Whitey Ford completed and released.
		Though not without its share of hardcore b-boy rap, Whitey Ford also finds Everlast playing acoustic guitar, doing some singing, and exploring folk-rock, Memphis soul, and heavy metal.
