35. Virgil Trucks

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.
