1955 Yankee of the Past: Lew Burdette

 "Lew's earned run average in 1954 was the National League's second best. He got into 38 games, winning 15 and losing 14. His ERA was a low 2.76. He worked 258 innings and gave up 224 hits. Lew walked 62 men [1.20 WHIP] and struck out 29. He pitched four shutouts.
Lew began in baseball as a member of the New York Yankees and played in their farm system until he hit the majors with the parent team at the end of the 1950 season. The Braves acquired him in a trade with New York."
