RIP

With a name like Al Kaline, he had to be good on the bases!

LOL!

I see what you did there.

He spent some years as a broadcaster as well, miss those days and those Tigers.

I believe he actually did lead the league in total bases in ‘68 or so.

Winner! His nickname was, appropriately enough, ‘Old Salty’

Heh! As a wee lad I was quite puzzled as to why some salvaged 55 gal drums my father had in the barn were stenciled with a baseball player's name. ;^)

Provided lots of energy.
Was a big help for the pitcher-catcher battery.
He just kept going and going and going.
