A discussion of the Detroit Tigers past, present and future.
Le Grand Orange
Best DH Season for a Bengal
Guillermo is Tops in Our Opinion!
Willie Hernandez posted the best relief season in the history of the Tigers.
The Best Season in Left?
The Rock, no doubt
Ty Cobb
Clearly, we picked Cobb as having the best year in center
Kaline narrowly wins our poll
for best season in right.
George Kell, 1949
The best Tiger season at third
It's Unanimous, Tram had the Best Season at Short
By Acclaim!
Who had the best season at first?
Hammerin' Hank Greenberg, that's who
My Kind of Town
Toledo is our favorite minor league stadium
Old Yankee Stadium - Our Favorite
Winning our poll for favorite non-functioning ball park-Yankee Stadium
Wrigley Field: Our favorite (non-Detroit) operating MLB park
By narrow vote over Fenway, it's Wrigley Field
Sparky Anderson - The Greatest Skipper
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
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
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 Tiger Hall of Fame
Bill Freehan, catcher
I knew Prince had a tat or two or three... but this blows my mind. This is a facinating photo, Tom. Great shot.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it may look cool now, but in 30 or 40 years when that skin is all loose and saggy around his finger bones and those tats look like a picasso painting, he will wonder why he did that to himself.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jeff. He has tats all over his arms, hands, neck and who knows where else.
ReplyDeleteHis bat may do most of the talking, but his hands apparently have a lot to say, too.
ReplyDeleteI've seen Prince every day so far in spring training, and I can't remember ever seeing a major leaguer smiling and laughing and having so much fun. He seems like a great guy, and he spends a lot of time signing autographs, posing for photos and talking to fans after his workouts.
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear. Good for him -- and the Tigers. Heard about his 600-foot-plus BP home run the other day. Holy cow. Don't think people realize just how far that is.
