Who is Red Ruffing? Looks like a sweet card!

Red Ruffing:
Born: May 3, 1904, in Granville, Illinois
Died: February 17, 1986, in Mayfield Hts., Ohio

ML Debut: 5/31/1924
Primary Position: Pitcher

6 Time All-Star

Red Ruffing overcame adversity to achieve pitching stardom. As a youngster he lost four toes on his left foot in a mine accident, which hastened a transition from the outfield to the mound. An instrumental part of seven pennant winners, Ruffing won seven of nine World Series decisions. His 273 career victories include a four-year stretch (1936 to 1939) when he won at least 20 games per season.

He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1967.

Nice card... I hate how players like this are overlooked and forgotten... 273 wins and almost nobody has heard of him, including myself.

Yeah, it is hard to believe how many HOF players people have never heard about.

No it is everything else about you that makes you a bad person LD. :tongue0011:

I have not had the chance to go to Cooperstown yet but I would love to go there all look at all of the baseball history. I have always enjoyed reading about the players from the past. Baseball has a rich history which is one of the things that makes this game so special.

A wise guy, eh? =)

It is a great place and more than worth going to, especially for induction day.

But my point still stands that you can't fault us for not knowing the oldies.
