This week, we finally talk about a great New York Yankees player! It's Louisiana Lighting, aka Gator Ron Guidry! Guidry's 1978 was one of the best pitching seasons Yankee history, 25-3 with 1.74 ERA. Ron won a Cy Young, 2 rings, 5 gold gloves, and his #49 was retired in 2003.
Ron's great 1978 helped the Yankees to 100 wins...and Ron started and won the final, 163rd game against the Red Sox which secured the AL East. He played 14 seasons, all for the Yankees, finishing 170-91 with a 3.29 ERA. In 2003, the Yankees retired Guidry's number 49 and honored him in Monument Park.
