Slick Coffman was born on Sunday, December 11, 1910, in Veto, Alabama. Coffman was 26 years old when he broke into the big leagues on May 21, 1937, with the Detroit Tigers.

"I remember Opening Day, 1940. I had just come over to the Tigers and it was my first game in the American League. Slick Coffman was pitching for the St. Louis Browns that day and he knocked me down with his first pitch the first time I came up. Then he yelled, 'That's how we pitch in the American League.'" - Dick Bartell in Baseball Digest ('Bar-Tells 'Em', October 1961, Page 64)
