Baseball Historian Biography

Bob Grim was an instant news maker in his rookie season with the New York Yankees. He was voted the 1954 Rookie of the Year by becoming the first Yankee rookie to win 20 games since 1910. His 20-6 record 3.26 ERA included eight games won in relief. In 1955, he saved Game 1 of the World Series but was the losing pitcher in Game 5, allowing three Dodger home runs. Bob Grim relied on his' fastball and threw a hard slider, which eventually injured his' pitching arm and limited his pitching chores. After that, he was used mainly in relief and was traded by the Yankees at the end of 1957. In his' career he recorded a 61-41 record. baseballhistorian.com
