Milt Wilcox
Milton Edward Wilcox was a pitcher who had a sixteen year career from 1970–1975, 1977–1986. He played for the Cincinnati Reds and Chicago Cubs both of the National League and the Cleveland Indians, Detroit Tigers and Seattle Mariners all of the American League. He won a World Series title with the Tigers in 1984. With Detroit, he was a reliable and effective third starter in the rotation for years, consistently giving his team six and more innings each start. This kept the Tigers well into each game for the relief corp and complemented Jack Morris and Dan Petry well who were power pitchers and considered the aces. His 17 wins in 1984 was extremely important in the Tigers run to their World Championship that year. (Morris won 19, Petry 18 that year.) He also pitched two masterful games in that year\\\'s ALCS and World Series, winning both. That year he also started his season going 6-0. This was not duplicated by a Tiger pitcher for 23 years until 2007 when Jeremy Bonderman equaled it. He now trains his dogs to do dock jumping and owns Ultimate Air Dogs, a national dock jumping organization.
