    Can't forget Ron LeFlore, Charlie Gehringer, and Eddie Cicotte of the Black Sox infamy.

    Speaking of all time teams, it might be fun to put together an all time greatest single season Tiger team. For example, Denny McLain might not make our list of greatest Tigers, but his 31-6 season in '68 might make him the starting pitcher on the single season all star team. Would Magglio's batting title season beat out the year Kaline won the title? While John Hiller might be our all time reliever, Willie Harnandez's MVP season in '84 seems to surpass anything Hiller did in one year. Could make for an interesting debate but would probably require more research time than I have.

    J.J. Putz, (maybe soon to join the Tigers) came from Trenton, pitched for Michigan.
