N.Y. Times obiyuary: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/27/sports/baseball/virgil-trucks-dies-at-95-had-2-no-hitters-in-1952.html?_r=0 Interesting segment from the obituary: In 1952, Trucks had one of the oddest statistical seasons in baseball history. Not only was the Tigers’ record dreadful — the team was 50-104 — but Trucks’s was as well. The woeful offense scored two runs or fewer in 15 of his starts, and he went 5-19. But remarkably, two of the five wins were no-hitters. The first, on May 15, was against the Washington Senators; the second, on Aug. 25, was against the mighty Yankees at Yankee Stadium.

Sunny here - mid to high 40s. Supposed to be warmer in the coming days. Hope spring has finally arrived. It's been a long wait this year.

Oh! That must have been hard, you had such a fine collection! Did you sell off the whole lot? Most of the vinyls went away... I kept all my CDs, all my Mosaics and quite a number of vinyls I had doubles of... All these will go to the same buyer when I die! The time (and the money) was right I still have enough music to keep me happy until I reach 150! A consideration for all of us as we get older.

Said General Manager Jerry Dipoto in a recent interview about Wells: “He’s been so professional — the way he’s carried himself is the textbook way to handle the situation.” I guess I could find a way to be "so professional" if I had $42 mil. coming to me.
