Whitey Ford (’28-’20)

Who’s that lefty on the hill?
He can really move that pill.
How’s he make it do that shit?
Cuts the ball or uses spit.
Throws a foot short of the rubber.
Ball’s so juiced it could be flubber.
He could stay out all night drinking.
Just mean his curve will be sinking.
One of the Yanks’ all-time kings.
Left hand won six Series rings.
He’s up in heaven now with Mick,
in their pinstriped golf cart.
And when the clubhouse bar opens,
they’ll be there from the start.
