Before he became one of baseball's top pitchers, former New York Yankees star Ron Guidry took a minor league tour through Syracuse. He will be back in the city on January 20th as the speaker at the Syracuse Chiefs Hot Stove Dinner. 

The event takes place from 5-7 p.m. at the Oncenter. Individual tickets are $75 for adults, $35 for children and there is also a special $125 VIP rate that includes a private autograph and photo session with Guidry. 

In addition to his presentation, there will be a full dinner and silent auction. Proceeds benefit the Syracuse Challenger Baseball League, RBI Baseball League and District 8 Little League. 

Guidry spent his entire 14-year major league career with the Yankees. He won 170 games in pinstripes and was a four-time American League All-Star. 

Guidry was known as one of the best defensive pitchers in baseball and he was the recipient of five Gold Gloves. In 1978, he went 25-3 with an ERA of 1.74 on his way to AL Cy Young honors. 

That season, New York won the second of back-to-back World Series titles. From 1989-88, Guidry served as Yankees captain and his jersey was retired by the franchise in 2003.
