Will never forget his performance in the great 1968 World Series. Baseball at its best.
I have been a lifetime Red Sox fan. But that 1968 Tigers team goes down as my favorite team of all time. As a high school kid I watched my Sox beat the Tigers in 67 to get a shot against the Cardinals in that World Series. We all know that Bob Gibson and the Cards prevailed. In 68 it was the Tigers who won the pennant and got their chance against Gibson and the Cards. Thanks to the most amazing World Series pitching performance of all times and an incredible line up the Tigers won. This 1968 Tiger team therefore earned my designation as favorite team ever. Rest in Peace Mickey.
