Hall of Famer Edward Charles "Whitey" Ford has died at the age of 91, the Yankees announced on Friday.
No additional details on Ford's death are known at this time.
Ford spent his entire 16-year career in the Bronx from 1950-1967 and ranks as one of the greatest all-time lefthanded pitchers in MLB history. In 1961, arguably his best season, Ford led the majors with a 25–4 record and was named World Series MVP after the Bronx Bombers beat the Reds. He capped off his incredible season by winning his only Cy Young Award.
Two years later, Ford went 24–7 to help the Yankees claim another pennant.
