"Allie is one of the game's great pitchers. His earned average of 2.07 was best in the league. He also struck out the most men, 160. Allie tied a major league record in 1951 by pitching two no-hit games.
He began in the major leagues with Cleveland in 1942 and was traded to the Yanks in October of 1946. In the World Series, he has won six and lost two."
