Vito Tamulis

Vitautis Casimirus Tamulis (July 11, 1911 – May 5, 1974) was an American left-handed pitcher in Major League Baseball who played for the New York Yankees, St. Louis Browns, Philadelphia Phillies and Brooklyn Dodgers from 1934 to 1941.

[3][4][5] Tamulis was signed by the New York Yankees as an 18-year-old,[2] and began his professional baseball career in 1930 with the Chambersburg Young Yanks of the Blue Ridge League.

The A's countered with hurler Joe Cascarella, and featured a lineup that included Baseball Hall of Famer Jimmie Foxx batting cleanup.

[8] Tamulis himself clouted his only major league four-bagger on June 11, a two-run homer off Browns hurler Russ Van Atta at Sportsman's Park.

[2] With World War II over, Tamulis returned to Nashville for the 1946 season, and in 1948 became player-manager of the Hopkinsville Hoppers of the Kentucky–Illinois–Tennessee League,[2] posting a 17–3 record on the mound in 1948.
