A man with broad interests, Gordon's Yankees tenure was artificially shortened by World War II, but his baseball life was as interesting as anyone's...
Born in Los Angeles, Gordon lost his father to illness at a young age and relocated to Portland, Oregon...As fun as the violin is, though, baseball was his calling, and he signed with the Yankees as a 21-year-old after two years in Eugene.
