Wilson’s career was almost ended as a rookie when a Hank Greenberg line drive fractured his skull and left him unconscious. He recovered to become a capable starter for a handful of teams, winning in double figures four times but leading the AL with 18 losses for Baltimore in 1955. With the Braves on June 12, 1954 he pitched a no-hitter, defeating Robin Roberts and the Phillies 2-0.
