1957 Yankee of the Past: Lew Burdette

"Lanky Lew was one of the top pitchers in the National League last season. He was also first in shutouts with six whitewash jobs. His favorite diet was the Cardinals, Redlegs and Pirates, pinning their ears 10 times in '56 without a single loss.
Lew started in baseball in the Yankee chain but was traded to the Braves in 1951."
