Detroit Tigers
Hall-of-Fame pitcher Jim Bunning, who played for the Detroit Tigers from 1955 to 1963, died on Friday, the Associated Press reported. He was 85.
Bunning won 224 games in a 17-year major-league career and pitched the first perfect game in modern National League history.
He became the first pitcher after 1900 to throw no-hitters in both the American and National Leagues.
He belonged to a rare group of major league pitchers to throw a perfect game in the modern era.
Bunning was inducted to the Hall of Fame by the veteran's committee in 1996.
