The story of how pitcher Vic Raschi set an American League record with his bat instead of his arm.
In his prime, Vic Ranchi was one of the Yankees' top starters during the late 1940s and 1950s. A 120-game winner with the Yankees, the Massachusetts native rattled off three straight 20-win seasons from 1949-51, and was one win shy in 1948 from making it four straight. The trio of Raschi, Eddie Lopat and Allie Reynolds during this era certainly made life difficult for opposing offenses. You can see Raschi in action in the video the 1952 World Series below.
