Virgil Trucks

Virgil Oliver "Fire" Trucks (April 26, 1917 – March 23, 2013) was a right-handed pitcher in Major League Baseball who spent parts of 17 seasons with the Detroit Tigers, St. Louis Browns, Chicago White Sox, Kansas City Athletics, and New York Yankees from 1941 to 1958. A Birmingham, Alabama native, Trucks finished his career with a 177–135 record, 1,534 strikeouts, and a 3.39 ERA across 2,682.2 innings. A two-time All-Star, he led the league in shutouts twice and in 1952 became just the third pitcher in major league history to throw two no-hitters in a single season.
