Little known fact that he went from high school to the Tigers, never played in the minors.
Yep 19 years old playing for Tigers. I'm a HUGE Tigers fan. My dad too, and he always talked about the great Al Kaline, so of course I learned about him. Yes cannon in Right Field, and a great hitter!
I grew up loving Trammell, Sweet Lou, Gibson, Parrish, Jack Morris, Dan Petry, Senor Smoke. What a great team the '84 Championship team was. As a kid I was so ate up with baseball and the Tigers.
