Whitey Ford--1967
We have come to the conclusion
that despite his fabled carousing
with Mickey Mantle, Whitey Ford
was able to extend his career 16
seasons and over 3,100 innings
due to his commitment to practicing
yoga. Here in his 1967 Topps card,
the future Hall of Fame lefty
demonstrates the importance of
stretching prior to striking the
challenging downward facing dog
pose.
