"In the minors, Luis hurled two no-hitters. Then a sore arm kept him out of baseball in 1952 and '53. His arm healed, Luis' 16 wins earned him a promotion to the Cardinals."

"When Luis joined the Pirates last season and posted wins over the Dodgers, Phillies and Cardinals, the Pirates tabbed him for big things in 1957.
Luis has been in baseball since 1948 and in his sophomore year won 21 games for Greensboro. His 228 strikeouts placed him as one of the minor league whiff aces. After traveling in the St. Louis farm system for seven years he got his chance in '55 with the Cards and in '56 came to the Pirates."
