902 The number of batters (902) Tiny Bonham faced in 1943. He was 15-8, and he made his second consecutive All-Star team. Bonham was remarkably consistent from 1942-43, as he made 28 starts and pitched 226 innings both seasons. He gave up 199 hits in 1942, and he gave up 197 hits in 1943. Bonham gave up 57 earned runs and posted an identical 2.27 ERA both seasons. He also struck out 71 batters and hit one batter in both seasons. The big difference for Bonham though was the way both seasons ended. The Yankees lost the 1942 World Series in five games to the St. Louis Cardinals, but the Yankees beat the Cardinals in five games during the 1943 World Series.
