I've seen Prince up close every day of spring training. He seems to have a great attitude. He's having fun and laughing and joking with teammates and fans. He's also launching balls halfway to Kennedy Space Center in BP.
I talked to the Tigers' team photographer, who says the last time he saw a new Tiger having a similar impact in spring training was the year Pudge Rodriguez joined the team.
With the election of Spark, we complete our little Hot Stove project of selecting the Greatest Tiger Team. This was fun.
Who Was the Greatest Tiger Reliever, DH/PH
We resoundingly agree that Willie Hernandez was the best reliever, but we tied on Rusty Staub or Daryl Evans for DH or pinch hitter
Pitching Rotation is Set (Kind of...)
Jack Morris, Hal Newhouser and Mickey Lolich are the selections for our Greatest Tiger starters. (Couldn't reach agreement on anyone else, so you get to fill in the line up card every fourther day. Gee, this really is like managing the Tigers, isn't it?)
Kaline is the Unanimous Rightfielder
In our second consecutive unanimous vote, Al Kaline, is chosen as the Greatest Tiger Rightfielder!
Cobb is Unanimous!
Nobody liked him, but we agree he was the best in center
Willie is Our man in Left!
Willie Horton is our choice for the greatest Tiger in left field
Good Ol' George Kell, the Best Tiger at the Hot Corner
At least by our vote, he's been elected. (BTW, thanks to Tom Haggerty for the write up on all the third basemen.)
Tram Stands Tall at Short
It's Unanimous
In perhaps our first unanimous vote, Alan Trammell has been chosen as our all Time Tiger Shortstop.
Tiger's Super Second Sacker - Gehringer in a Lanslide!
Once again, I was overwhelmingly out-voted, Charlie Gehringer wins.
Heaven's First Baseman
Hank Greenberg, elected as the Greatest Tiger firstbaseman in History
OUR FIRST INDUCTEE TO THE TIGER HALL OF FAME
By overwhelming majority, you the fans (at least those reading this) chose Bill Freehan as the greatest catcher in Tiger history.
Judging from the explosion of posts about this photo, we all must be thrilled to see Prince in the Ol' English D. Can you feel the excitement, people?
