So good that they named a battery for him.

Hit .379 with 8 RBIs in the 1968 World Series, which was also the last one for Hall of Famer Eddie Matthews.

Detroit took a big gamble and turned another outfielder, Mickey Stanley, into a shortstop with a couple of weeks left in the season. Stanley didn't have a great world series, but did hit .214 and score a couple of runs. He appeared in only 9 games as shortstop dyring the regular season, but stated all 7 games of the world series at that position.

The regular shortstop, Ray Oyler, appeared as a defensive replacement in the four games the Tigers won and got a sacrifice hit in his only plate appearance.

And that was a heckuva Series. Tigers came back from down to 3 - 1 to win. Mickey Lolich outshone Bob Gibson over the length of The Series, even though Gibson pitched an absolute masterpiece in Game 1.
