"A back injury-marred Allie's effectiveness in 1954, although he still had a 13-6 record for 36 mound appearances. He retired before the start of the 1955 season.
One of baseball's greatest pitchers, Allie was cool and calm on the mound, and deadly sure. Watching him work was a pleasure for baseball fans. He was the type who thought nothing of pitching nine innings one day and then relieving the next day.
Allie holds many records, among them the fact that he pitched two no-hit, no-run games in a season, 1951, and also holds records for his World Series work."
