While we never thought Virgil Trucks' nickname of "Fire" was that creative, we did believe that the Alabaman was a pretty good Pitcher in his day.
A Detroit Tiger for 12 of his 17 seasons in Major League Baseball, Virgil Trucks would become the third Pitcher in MLB history to hurl two no-hitters in a season. Trucks would be an All-Star in 1949 and the Strikeouts Champion the same year. In 1945, Virgil would win a game in the World Series Title for Detroit. In his 12 seasons in Detroit, Trucks would go 114-96 with 1,046 Strikeouts.
