Bun Troy
Robert Gustave "Bun" Troy (August 27, 1888 – October 7, 1918) was a German-born professional baseball pitcher who was killed in action while fighting against German forces in World War I. Troy was a sergeant with the "Blue Ridge" Division of the United States Army; he was shot in the chest during Meuse-Argonne Offensive.
Before serving in the military, Troy had played five seasons in minor league baseball from 1910 to 1914 and had consecutive 23-win seasons in 1912 and 1913. He pitched one game in Major League Baseball, for the Detroit Tigers against the Washington Senators, on September 15, 1912. Troy pitched six scoreless innings in a pitching duel with Walter Johnson before giving up four runs in the seventh inning.
==Early years==
Troy was born in Bad Wurzach in southern Germany in 1888.〔 He moved with his family to western Pennsylvania, growing up in McDonald, Pennsylvania.〔〔In addition to the profile at "Baseball's Greatest Sacrifice," other evidence pointing to settlement in western Pennsylvania: (1) the funeral notice referenced below indicates his parents lived in western Pennsylvania, first at McDonald, then at Monessen, (2) the 80th Division in which he served was made up of recruits from the mid-Atlantic states, including Pennsylvania, and (3) he began his professional baseball career playing in the Ohio-Pennsylvania League. Records from the 1900 and/or 1910 United States Censuses should provide confirmation.〕
