RON GUIDRY was the ace of the Yankee pitching staff from 1976 through 1988, playing under manager Billy Martin and later Yogi Berra. He won two World Series titles (1977, 1978) and the Cy Young Award in 1978 as the best pitcher in baseball, when he went 25-3 with a 1.74 ERA, one of the best seasons any pitcher has ever had. From 1986 through 1988, he served as the Yankee captain, one of only fifteen in franchise history. He was a four-time All Star and five-time Golden Glove winner. Since his retirement, he has served as a Yankee spring-training instructor and was the Yankee pitching coach under Joe Torre in 2006 and 2007.

Quotes by Ron Guidry (?)

“The lead actors in the drama: owner George Steinbrenner, who fought and fired his manager, Billy Martin, after Billy told the press that Reggie Jackson and George deserved each other—“one’s a born liar, the other’s convicted.”
― Ron Guidry, Gator: My Life in Pinstripes

“After the ’76 World Series, Reds manager Sparky Anderson was asked about Thurman and his catcher Johnny Bench, who went on to the Hall of Fame. With Thurman next to him at the news conference, Sparky said: “Don’t never embarrass nobody by comparing them to Johnny Bench.”

“You have to tell him something. Tell him anything, or he won’t let you complete the game.” “Okay,” I told him. By not immediately bringing in a reliever, Billy seemed to be feeling me out. When he arrived moments later, he didn’t say “Good job” like he usually did. Instead, he asked: “Well, what do you think?” “You really wanna know what I think?” I said. “Yeah, I really wanna know.” “I think you oughtta get your ass off my mound so I can finish my damn game.” Billy looked at me for a moment. Then he said, “Okay, you got it.” And he went back”
