Of the players that you mentioned, Bullett Joe, Jess Barnes and Francis Xavier "Big Jeff" (If that's the correct Jeff) all threw ML no-hit games.

BTW, The Toledo Mud Hens were the home of many important players in baseball history. Not in 1927, but HOF Addie Joss played for the Mud Hens. He also lived in Toledo in the off season and was a sports writer for the Toledo Blade before he died tragically at 31 of tubercular meningitis.

HOF'er Kirby Puckett once played for the Mud Hens en route to the bigs.

Keep me posted...
Also Roger Bresnahan, i think maybe Jim Thorpe too!
