Yankees' great Whitey Ford passed away on October 8, 2020 at age 91.
Ford played for the Yankees from 1950 to 1967. This is his final baseball card.
He retired on Memorial Day in 1967. Here is a newspaper photo I saved from the day he announced his retirement:
Ford still holds the record for most wins by a Yankees' pitcher (236). He also holds the major-league record for most World Series wins (10) and strikeouts (94).

Man, 2020 is the year that just keeps on taking.
Allie Reynolds was my fathwer's favorite pitcher but Whitey was right up there. We went to Yankee Stadium for so many games and I swear Ford started half of them. At least that's how it seemed. RIP
