Cookie Cuccurullo

Arthur Joseph "Cookie" Cuccurullo (February 8, 1918 – January 23, 1983) was a Major League Baseball pitcher who played for the Pittsburgh Pirates from 1943 to 1945.

The 5 ft 10 in (1.78 m), 168 lb (76 kg) left-hander was a native of Asbury Park, New Jersey, United States.

Cuccurullo began his career in 1939 with the Class D Greeneville Burley Cubs of the Appalachian League, and went 14–8 with them.

It was the last day of the season, and Cuccurullo started the second game of a doubleheader against the Philadelphia Blue Jays at Forbes Field.

The opposing pitcher (and winner) was 17-year-old rookie Roger McKee, who was making his first and only major league start.
