Memorable Detroit Tigers Players Whose Names You Should Remember

There are so many Tiger Lovers in this state. But do you remember a lot of the player's names?

Yeah, people will remember Al Kaline, Ty Cobb, Hank Greenberg, Alan Trammell, Justin Verlander and Jack Morris. But do you have other favorites, and do you remember their names?

I’m 61 and I remember so many of the former players. Even before I was born I have done so much reading about Charlie Gehringer, Mickey Cochrane and Rocky Colavito. Do you remember Denny McClain? He was a 2x Cy Young winner and an MVP winner in 1968 too.
