1952 Topps #262, Virgil Trucks ⭐ 1952 Topps #160, Owen Friend ⭐ On December 4, 1952,the Detroit Tigers traded Virgil Trucks, who tossed two no-hitters during the year, along with 2 others to the St. Louis Browns for 2B Owen Friend and 2 others.
This one stings a bit. Hate to see a homegrown fan-favorite like Nimmo get traded (thankfully to the AL). His smile was infectious, he played hard and developed into a real leader for this team. I wish him all the best moving forward.
