New York lost two legends on the mound this year between Tom Seaver and Whitey Ford. Heartbreaking year for baseball fans in the area.
Whitey was not just a legendary pitcher for the Yankees, but a class act. He was also a staunch proponent of racial justice and integration on and off the field, especially the way he stood by Elston Howard in the wake of all the shit he got for being the first Black man to play for the Yankees. A great New Yorker in every sense of the word. RIP Whitey.
