The World Series record book is crowded with Ford’s accomplishments. Ford still holds records for World Series games and starts (22), innings pitched (146), wins (10) and strikeouts (94). Ford was Stengel’s choice to pitch World Series openers eight times, another record. Ford won 18 games in his first season back and never won fewer than 11 for 13 straight seasons.
