That was a great team, Freehan catching, Cash at first, Lolich and McNally pitching, Kaline in right field, Dick McAuliffe. I saw the Tigers play in 1967 in Oakland the first year (?) the As were there and will never forget seeing Kaline throw a guy out at the plate from the fence in right on a sac fly - must have thrown a 320 foot perfect strike to home plate that would have taken the first baseman's head off if he had been in the way of it. I think your guy was on the roster a few years prior to that, somewhere I still have the program from that game. The As had some great players too, Rollie Fingers, Campaneris, Dick Green, and Reggie of course, Rick Monday. Long time ago.
Dang dog you must be close to my age dude? I use to root for the Chicago Whitesox way before the Atlanta Braves even thought about being in Georgia. Nelly Fox, Luis Aprarisco, etc. was on the Sox.
