Virgil "Fire" Trucks circa 1952 era game used Adirondack bat
Hi Mike,
Great idea for a new thread! I'm thrilled to have recently picked up this circa 1952 vintage game used Adirondack bat of Detroit Tigers fastball pitcher Virgil "Fire" Trucks. In 1952 Virgil Trucks joined Johnny "Double No-Hit" Vander Meer (1938) and Allie Reynolds (1951) as the only 3 pitchers to accomplish the feat of hurling two no-hitters in a single season. It's important to note that since 1952, only three pitchers have joined this list: Nolan Ryan (1973) and Roy Halladay (2010) and Max Scherzer (2015) making this one of the most exclusive clubs in ML history. Sadly, 4 of these 6 pitchers are now deceased. Pitchers bats are rare. Finding a vintage, game used bat with tons of use, that was actually signed by Trucks made this an unbelievable pickup for my advanced no-hitter collection.
