Yankee Stadium Legacy: #10 George Pipgras


George Pipgras had a Major League career that was interrupted by military service during World War I. Pipgras returned to the New York Yankees in 1927 and went 10-3 only to follow that up with an American League best 24 games including 22 complete games and four shutouts. In his World Series career he went 3-0 and won three World Series rings in his career.

10 days until Yankees Opening Day.

  1. Thanks for this. Not a lot of folks today remember Pipgras. And in light of that minor misfortune (as well as one exquisitely poor baseball card), he does seem deserving of at least
    some small tribute.

  2. No problem, thanks for the spam.
