Edward Marvin Head (January 25, 1918 in Selma, Louisiana - January 31, 1980 in Bastrop, Louisiana), was a former professional baseball player who played pitcher in the Major Leagues from 1940-1946. He would play for the Brooklyn Dodgers. Head was a natural left-hander but switched to righty after breaking his arm in a bus crash in 1935 accident. [Head Pitches No-Hit, No-Run Game, by Carl Lundquest, "United Press" as reported in the "Pennsylvania Daily News", April 24th 1946, Page 2.] After serving in the Army and not pitching in the majors in 1945, Head pitched a no-hitter in his first start of 1946,Ed Head Throws No-Hitter in First Start Since July, 1944, by Jack Hand, "Associated Press" as reported in the "Moberly Monitor-Index", April 4th, 1946, page 6.] , but failed to make the major league club in spring training of 1947, and never pitched in the majors again.
