File this under “I did not know that.” Derek Trucks is the great-nephew of baseball pitcher Virgil Trucks, who pitched two no-hitters for the Detroit Tigers in the 1950s. Derek and his family are actually big baseball fans, and he even kept a Virgil Trucks baseball card on one of his guitars for years. MLB.com columnist Peter Gammons has written an article about a recent meeting between Derek and Virgil. It’s a pretty interesting read, so go check it out. Also, baseball season is right around the corner.

Yes to the Baseball season!! Can’t wait for it….
That’s a great story. As a life-long Tigers and Allmans fan, I had never heard of this connection. Great find!
