Player Biography
Vernon “Lefty” Gomez brought a big-league fastball from California to the New York Yankees and helped guide the club to seven pennants. “El Goofy” was known for saying “I’d rather be lucky than good.” Gomez continued to win despite a sore arm, relying more on his curve. “I’m throwing as hard as I ever did, the ball’s just not getting there as fast,” he explained. Gomez won the pitching Triple Crown twice (1934 and 1937) and was a seven-time All-Star, starting the first Midsummer Classic in 1933. At his best in the World Series, Gomez won six of seven starts without a loss.
