Virgil pitched his first major league no-hit, no-run game in May of 1952 against the Senators. His next turn on the mound, he hurled 6-1/3 innings before giving up a hit. A Big Leaguer since '41, when he came up to the Tigers from Buffalo, he had great seasons in 1942 (14-8), 1943 (16-10), 1946 (14-9) and 1949 (19-11). In 1949, Virgil led the American League in Strikeouts with 153, and had a 2.81 ERA. In 1938, his first year in the minors he won 25 games and fanned 418.
After three years of minor-league exile, "Johnny" Babich came back with Connie Mack's Philadelphia Athletics-and made the grade. Unsuccessful in earlier trials with Brooklyn and Boston in the National League, Babich's work in the minors led to his drafting by the A's last year, and he proved well worth the investment of $7,500. Babich won 14 and lost 13 for the Mackmen, with an earned-run-average of 3.73, a high rating in effectiveness.
