1952 Back-O'-The-Card: Allie Reynolds

"The Chief pitched two no-hit, no-run games in 1951 to become the second man in the history of baseball to accomplish this feat.
A football star at Oklahoma A & M, Allie came up to the majors with Cleveland in 1942. In '43, he led the American League in strikeouts with 151. Traded to the Yanks after the '46 season, he had a 19-8 record in 1947, 16-7 in '48, 17-6 in '49 and 16-12 in '50. He had seven shutouts in 1951."
