five consecutive world championships from 1949 to 1953. Known for his blazing fastball and tremendous determination, Raschi won 21 games for the Yankees three straight times, compiling an exceptional overall record of 120-50 during his eight years in pinstripes. The hard throwing right hander's .706 winning percentage places him sixth in team history, and his 24 shutouts rank him in the club's all-time top 10. An outstanding big game pitcher, Raschi posted a 5-3 record and a 2.24 ERA in World Series play, completing three of his eight starts, tossing a two shutout in one contest, and allowing just 1 run on 3 hits in another.
