After going 54-52 in four seasons with the Red Sox he was traded to the Yankees in 1923 and in the next 11 years collected a resounding record of 162-90. He won two games for the Yankees in the 1926 WS vs the Cardinals, and in the '27 WS vs the Pirates, he retired the first 22 batters of the game before the great Pie Traynor singled. Herb Pennock lifetime stats: 240-162, .597 pct., 3.60 ERA.
