Vic Raschi was born in West Springfield, Massachusetts and was known as "The Springfield rifle".
Signed by the New York Yankees as an amateur free agent in 1941. A 21 game winner for three consecutive years, 1949, 1950 & 1951.
Became a part of one of the most feared pitching rotations in baseball history when teamed with Ed Lopat and Allie Reynolds.
Vic was never featured in a Topps card as he had an exclusive contract with Bowman, in which he appeared through and including the 1955 year.
You can say that he is one of those players that relied on skills and not on long shot plays like many casino buffs. 
Vic is also a classic player who played with passion and heart.
