Whitey Ford, New York Yankees

The diminutive (5' 10") Ford's .690 winning percentage (236-106) is the best of all time. His 2.75 ERA is the lowest among all starters who began their careers after 1920. See more Yankee greats -- and other sporting and cultural milestones -- in the gallery, Memories of Old Yankee Stadium.
