As a boy, Ralph Lauren was snubbed by Yankees great Whitey Ford when he asked the pitcher for an autograph.
Decades later, the fashion icon is finally getting some love from the “Chairman of the Board.”
After reading in The Post that Ford told Lauren to “get back to the bleachers, kid,” when the future fashion designer requested a signature, Ford’s granddaughter, Blair Ford Clancy, scrambled to make amends.
“I read it and saw that my grandfather told him to get lost, so I called my grandmother to see what we could do,” Clancy tells The Post.
