In one of Virgil Trucks final interviews host David Spada gets Virgil's memories of the 1945 World Series, Ted Williams, Mickey Mantle, and barnstorming with Satchel Paige on Sports & Torts.

He was a great guy.

You know, you're a cool guy, David. Really, no Murph intended when I say this but...

You really are the angel of death.

Underrated pitcher. Hard-throwing motherfucker. He had a good winning record for his career and I think he led the league in strikeouts at least once. I believe he is related to Butch Trucks of the Allman Brothers. I wonder if WSCR baseball expert Matt Spiegel has ever heard of him.
