The Chairman Of The Board! Ford has some fine World Series records.
In looking at Ford's World Series performance I'm amazed to find somethings amazing:
Ford never started a game 7!
But no doubt, Ford was the man you wanted if you went to a World Series. Consider that he holds World Series' records for:
Games Started (22)
Innings Pitched (146)
Wins (10) [Okay, fine! Also losses (8)]
Strikeouts (94)
Consecutive Scoreless Innings (33 2/3)

Not to mention an impressive .690 winning % in his career 1950, 1953-1967. If you subtract his last three years, it's even better, .720.
