Mickey Lolich was the star vs McClain in 68 series for Detroit.I use to watch George Kell call the televised games and he would always tell you what employment a player had in off season. Hard to grasp now.

Very sad to hear about Tom Seaver.

The ‘68 Series was Lolich’s time to shine. But Gibson did strike out 17 in Game 1, a Series record that stands to this day. The Cards might very well have won except for a critical error by Curt Flood in Game 7. Not familiar with George Kell, when I think of Tigers broadcasters I think of Ernie Harwell. Gates Brown, Willie Horton, Jim Northrup, Norm Cash, Al Kaline.... pretty damn good Tigers team. And that manager Mayo Whatshisname? Clinic?

One of McClain's places of employment was a clerk at a local 7/11 following one of his releases from prison......
