WHITEY FORD

Another baseball player on our list who was equally great and popular was Edward Ford, also known as Whitey Ford. Known as The Chairman of the Board during his active years, Ford spent 16 years with Major League Baseball. He donned the New York Yankees jersey for years which earned him 10 All-Star recognition. He never jumped to other teams and stayed loyal and faithful to his team despite a few offers to transfer. Ford also earned the title of 6-time champion for the World Series.

All these accolades may have earned him multi-millions investment money and savings. As he embraced his senior years, Ford had to go through medication for his Alzheimer’s disease while he lived his life in retirement. He had huge cash to spend on during his treatment. Even when he has long been retired and was no longer playing baseball, Ford’s heart has always been with his team. He would always watch games of the Yankees, which might have helped in remembering his good old days in the field.
