Interesting guy, Trucks. Terrific pitcher, except for 1952, and he went 20-10 the next season. Other than 1952, he was 172-114 for his career. Led the league in shutouts twice, made All Star team both years, had downballot MVP votes in four seasons. He struck out 418 batters (no misprint) in 274 innings in D league when he was 21. Held the minor league record for years, still #3 on the list. Also one of just two pitchers to have won a post-season game without winning a regular season game (came back in 1945 in time for the post-season).
His family is musical. Several of the Allman Brothers Band were relatives of his, he's the uncle of drummer Butch Trucks who helped found the band.
