With the end of season awards announcements fast approaching, it’s time to take a look back in time at some previous winners that represented the New York Yankees. First up, Ron Guidry‘s phenomenal 1978 season that garnered him a Cy Young Award.
At 5’11” and 161 pounds, Guidry was not an imposing presence on the mound by any stretch of the imagination. He also got by on just two pitches, a fastball that he could gun up to 95-mph and a sharp breaking slider. Painting corners was the name of his game and he often got ahead of hitters with the heater and finished them off with a slider that just dipped out of the strike zone.
