Who were top Yankees pitchers in 1927?

Today’s question: Still considered one of the greatest teams of all time, the 1927 New York Yankees had six pitchers win in double figures in the season. How many of those won 20 or more games?

Yesterday’s question and answer: Immediately after winning the heavyweight title Cassius Clay announced that he had converted to the nation of Islam, and that he was now to be called Muhammed Ali. The backlash from this announcement made virtually every major sporting center in the U.S. refuse to host his rematch with Sonny Liston. Where was the fight finally held? The answer is Lewiston, Maine. When the fight finally happened it was a letdown to those attending, as Ali knocked Liston out less than two minutes into the first round.
