Hey Mike- Happy New Year.

I have always been a big Norm Cash fan. How about him and maybe Eddie Mathews, too.

Love the blog- love the podcast- Go Tigers.

Roy,

Mickey Tettleton will definitely be on the list. No one is off the list! Except, maybe, my least-favorite Tigers player: Craig Monroe.

Keep reading — we’ll get to Tettleton, one of my favorites too!

So Tettleton wont be added? I am a young Tigers fan so I guess I wont be reading. Thanks though. I know who Al Kaline and Cobb are. and Freehan. But you should add names of the late 80′s or early 90′s so younger fans like me are interested. Those guys you are adding are before my time. I was born in 81. if you are just doing players from the mid 80′s and before I wont be interested.

Butch,
I’ll definitely add Freehan and Stanley to my list!

As for my initial choice, I should’ve explained my rationale for starting with Lynn Jones. First, it was his birthday so it made him an easy target. Second, he’s the kind of obscure Tigers player I like to profile only because he is so obscure. I’m not going to avoid the big names like Cobb and Kaline in this project, but there have been countless words written about them over the years so they’ll come later on. Thanks for your input and for reading!

- Mike

If your gonna do this i think Mr. Kaline or Cobb should have been first. But i love the ideal. But Bill Freehan was my favorite as a kid and what ever happened to Micky Stanly

His story always interested me. Where is he now?

How about Mickey Tettleton. He was my favorite player as a kid.
