Quick Quiz

Which Detroit native played for the Tigers after winning a batting title earlier in his career with another team?

(Can you name any other players who toiled for the Tigers after winning a batting championship elsewhere? I know at least one.)

    These are too easy. Alex Johnson, brother of U of M great Ron Johnson.

    Leave it to you to double stump me, Tom. I'll bet Bouie can get at least one of these though.

    See? While I was saying he would get these, he was posting!!

    I believe Bill Madlock won a batting title with the Cubs before he was traded to the Tigers.

    Fred Lynn also won a batting title before his forgetable stint w/ Detroit.

    Madlock also won two batting titles w/ the Pirates, making him the first player to win multiple batting titles with two different teams.
