OT:Virgil Trucks
 
I just heard that Virgil Trucks died. My father used to tell me that he was one of the hardest throwers that he saw when he was young ( though not as fast as Feller). I wonder if some of our older board members could share some personal memories of Trucks?

Virgil was 95. May he rest in peace.

I was fortunate to meet him. A really classy guy. RIP Mr. Trucks.

Best,

Andy

He was, at the time, the 8th oldest living player. There are only ten pre-WWII players still alive now. Such a shame

Curious, who are the ten? I know Bobby Doerr.
