About Warren Spahn
Signed by the Boston Braves out of Buffalo, New York, left-hander Warren Spahn debuted in 1942 but lost three prime years to World War II, serving as a combat engineer at the Battle of the Bulge and earning a Purple Heart and battlefield commission. Returning in 1946, he pitched 21 seasons for the Boston (1942, 1946-52) and Milwaukee (1953-64) Braves, closing out with the Mets and Giants in 1965. He went 363-245 with a 3.09 ERA and 2,583 strikeouts, his 363 wins the most ever by a left-hander. A 17-time All-Star, Spahn won the 1957 NL Cy Young Award and anchored Milwaukee's 1957 World Series champions. He posted 13 seasons of 20-plus wins (a record) and threw two no-hitters at ages 39 and 40. Nicknamed "Hooks" for his prominent hooked nose, he was elected to the Hall of Fame on the first ballot in 1973. This is his card in the 1955 Topps set, issued during his Milwaukee prime.
