Jim Bunning was my favorite Tigers Pitcher as a kid growing up in Detroit and then moving to Boston.
My favorite game in the "Best Tigers game you ever went to" thread was May 18, 1959 when Bunning pitched and batted the the Tigers to a 14 - 2 Win over the redsox at Fenway. Bunning Homered and Tripled in the game, and is the only pitcher in ML history to accomplish that. Bunning was one of the Pitchers who would throw high and tight, up and in along with Drysdale, Gibson, Wynn. When Bunning retired he was second all time in strikeouts with 2855 K's, 40 Shutouts, 3.27 ERA. First my favorite Lion's player Safety and Punter Yale Lary died a couple of weeks ago and now Bunning. I will be a basket case when Kaline goes to the Baseball field in the sky.
