Player Biography
Herb Pennock – “The Knight of Kennett Square” – was a solid southpaw hurler for both the Philadelphia Athletics and Boston Red Sox, but made his biggest impact with the New York Yankees. Pennock’s first manager in New York, Miller Huggins, called him the greatest left-hander in the history of baseball, saying if Pennock’s head was cut open, “The weakness of every batter in the league would fall out.” Pennock’s Yankees teams won five pennants and four World Series crowns, prompting manager Joe McCarthy to say: “I am going to pitch Pennock in spots this season – the tough ones.”
