Whitey Ford died at the age of 91 watching a playoff baseball game. I imagine watching a game that made you a Hall of Famer, a legend is an appropriate way to pass on.
The Yankee legend won the Rookie of the Year Award in 1950. The following two years he served his country in the Korean War. Serving in the Army would be enough to get him some respect.
He came back and was a 10 time All star and was on six World Championship Teams. He also won a Cy Young.
A clip of him pitching..
The New York Yankees pitcher is in Baseball's Hall of Fame and his jersey retired by the Yankees. Nearly 2000 strikeouts and 236 wins highlighted his career.
He will be missed!

I remember him at the tail end of his career. He was still a force to be reckoned with.
