He also threw a one-hitter that year & all three low-hit games were 1-0! He finished 5-19 with a 3.97 on a horrible Tigers team. After 'retiring', he was the batting practice pitcher for several teams for years and years. He passed away at 95 in 2013 but in 2005, someone had given my his address to which I sent a twenty dollar check and received a signed copy of his biography, "Throwing Heat" and a very nice personalized thank you note in the shaky cursive writing of an 87-year-old. I do wish I had taken the opportunity to meet him.
