Most people that remember the name of Tom Zachary might say, "Oh, yeah, that's the guy that gave up Ruth's #60 in 1927." (Yes, he certainly is.) But two years AFTER that, guess who Tom Zachary pitched for? - Yep, the Yankees. That year, Tom set an MLB record (unofficial) that has been approached but not exceeded through 2011.
