Howard Ehmke and Lefty Gomez: Peerless Baseball Pitchers
This page from the 1948-10 Sportfolio highlights two distinguished pitchers, Howard Ehmke of the Philadelphia Athletics and Lefty Gomez of the New York Yankees, noted for their performances in World Series play. Howard Ehmke, an experienced pitcher, achieved notable success in the 1929 World Series by leading the Athletics to a surprising victory over the Chicago Cubs with a 3-1 outcome. Ehmke's unexpected performance at the time was significant, considering his age and the Cubs' strong lineup. On the other hand, Lefty Gomez, representing the Yankees, boasts an impressive record with six wins and no losses across four World Series appearances. Gomez's consistent excellence was instrumental in the Yankees' success during the 1930s and 1940s.
