One of the best double play combinations in
American League history, Phil Rizzuto and Joe
Gordon played together in the 1941, 1942 and 1946
seasons and helped the club to two pennants and
one world championship. In 1941 and 1942 the duo
led the AL in double plays as the Yankees won the
AL flag both years. Gordon was voted the AL's
Most Valuable Player in 1942 after hitting .322 with
18 homers and 103 RBI. Rizzuto led all AL
shortstops in putouts in 1942.
