Tom Sturdivant


Tom Sturdivant, who pitched the New York Yankees to victory in Game 4 of the 1956 World Series on the day before Don Larsen's famed perfect game, died Saturday in his native Oklahoma City. He was 78.

Sturdivant threw a complete game in a 6-2 win against the Brooklyn Dodgers on Oct. 7, 1956, to even the best-of-seven series at 2-2 and set the stage for the only perfect game in World Series history. Whitey Ford, Sturdivant, Larsen, Bob Turley and Johnny Kucks threw five straight complete games in that series - a feat that hasn't been matched.

Sturdivant was a member of the Yankees teams that played in the World Series in three straight years, beginning in 1955. He went 16-8 in 1956 and 16-6 in 1957, when he led the American League in won-lost percentage.

He hurt his arm the following year and spent the rest of his career pitching with six different teams - Kansas City, Boston, Washington, Pittsburgh, Detroit and the New York Mets.

He finished his 10-year career in 1964 with a record of 59-51.

Tom was raised in Oklahoma City and attended Capitol Hill High School, where he said, "We worked at winning?"

Tom, nicknamed "Snake" for his excellent curveball, debuted on April 14, 1955 for the New York Yankees, where he played in the World Series in 1956 and 1957. During his career, he played with the Kansas City Athletics, the Boston Red Sox, the Washington Senators, the Pittsburgh Pirates, the Detroit Tigers, and the New York Mets.
