He played in Major League Baseball as a pitcher from 1939 to 1955, most notably for the Detroit Tigers, where he was selected for seven straight All-Star Games from 1942 to 1948.

Photograph. Original 9" x 7" Type 1 black and white photo. Photo of the 1940 Detroit Tigers after winning the pennant, featuring future Hall of Famers Earl Averill, Charlie Gehringer, Hank Greenberg, and Hal Newhouser. Fine. Overall, a fresh and clean photo. In 1940, the Detroit Tigers lost in the World Series to the Cincinnati Reds in seven games. Notably, Hank Greenberg won the second of his two AL MVP Awards that year (1935, 1940). Greenberg played the first twelve of his thirteen seasons in the MLB with the Tigers (1930, 1933-41, 1945-46). During his time in the league, Greenberg was a 5x All-Star and 4x AL home run leader. Earl Averill was a 6x All-Star whose promising career was cut short by back injuries. He made the news a couple of times for unfortunate reasons, including hitting the ball that broke Dizzy Dean's toe - an injury that ultimately signaled the decline of Dean's career - and boarding a flight for an old-timers' game in the 1960s with his bat in a gun case. Hal Newhouser was a 7x All-Star, and the only pitcher to win back-to-back MVP awards (1944, 1945). Charlie Gehringer was a 6x All-Star, AL MVP (1937), and a finalist for the 1999 Major League Baseball All-Century Team.
