I was 11 during the 1968 season but still have fond memories. How would you say McAuliffe compares to Alan Trammel?

To be honest, I pretty much quit following Detroit sports after I left Michigan to go to the Naval Academy. The only Tigers team that I remember was made up of Al Kaline, Norm Cash, Willie Horton, Dick McAuliffe, Bill Freehan, Micky Lolich ... I wouldn't know Alan Trammel if he came up and slapped me on the back.

Although I guess McAuliffe was probably better known as a second baseman, I remember him more as the shortstop. remember his speed and area of coverage at shortstop and his lead-off hitting and running the base paths.
