Spahn Earns Hall of Fame Honor for Braves Pitching Career
Eddie Spahn, 51, well remembers his boy Warren learning to pitch as his 316 of 380 BBWA votes earned him induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame at Cooperstown. Spahn, a lefty star for Boston and Milwaukee, posted 363 wins with 13 seasons of 20+ victories. Whitey Ford fell short, Mickey Mantle awaits eligibility in 1974, and Spahn remains a Hall icon sharing the spotlight with Ruth Cobb and Johnson.
