Born on August 11, 1907, this Hartsville native played for seventeen major league baseball teams. A four-time All-Star as well as a World Series Champion with the New York Yankees in 1947, he amassed a 211-222 record as a starting pitcher and had a peculiar habit of talking about himself in the third person. He is mentioned in the poem “Line-Up for Yesterday” by Ogden Nash, where he is the only player mentioned still not in the Hall of Fame. He died in Orlando, FL, on December 7, 1962 and is buried in Magnolia Cemetery in Hartsville, where he has a street named after him.
