"Guidry was a key component of the Yankees' titles in 1977 and 1978. The latter was the best season of his career, as he went 25-3 and led the league in ERA (1.74), shutouts (nine) and strikeouts (248) in 273 2/3 innings. That effort won Guidry the Cy Young and landed him second in the MVP voting, finishing runner-up to Jim Rice. Nicknamed ""Louisiana Lightnin',"" Guidry spent all 14 of his major league seasons with the Yankees, winning 170 games and earning All-Star honors four times. He also served as the Yankees' pitching coach during the 2006 and 2007 seasons."
