Red Ruffing Hall of Fame MLB

Red Ruffing began his career with the Boston Red Sox, but it was with the New York Yankees that he became a pitching legend. A six-time World Series champion, Ruffing was known for his durability, control, and ability to perform in big games. He won 20 or more games in four different seasons and was instrumental during the Yankees' dynastic run in the 1930s and early ’40s.

Ruffing was also a solid hitter for a pitcher, often helping his own cause at the plate. His 273 career wins are among the most by any right-handed pitcher in MLB history. Elected to the Hall of Fame in 1967, Ruffing remains one of the greatest pitchers in Yankees history and a symbol of consistency and postseason excellence.
