Ford Refuses Praise As He Seeks Season Slumps End
New York Yankees pitcher Whitey Ford says he is not great and won’t accept praise until he finishes a full slump free season. The 26 year old southpaw won 2-1 over Kansas City on Jim Finigan’s double after another one hitter against Washington. Ford trails Frank Sullivan for the AL lead with 17 wins and six losses, eyeing a 20 win season. He cites Robin Roberts as a benchmark for greatness.
