Biography Mr. Trout, an affable and colorful player, was a witty and sought-after speaker. As a pitcher, Paul Howard Trout broke into professional baseball with Terre Haute, Ind., in 1935, and advanced to the majors with Detroit in 1939. In 1943, he posted a 20-12 record and in 1944 had his peak season with 27-14. His earned-run average of 2.22 that year was the lowest in the majors. In 1945, the bespectacled Trout won 18 games, and his brilliant pitching at the end of the season - he pitched six games in nine days, winning four - led the Tigers to the pennant. Over his major league career, which included 13 seasons with the Tigers and part of 1952 with the Boston Red Sox, the fireballing righthander had a record of 170 victories and 161 defeats. After he retired, Trout became a broadcaster for the Tigers, and used his story telling ability on the color commentary.
