I got Al Kaline’s autograph when he was a rookie on the Tigers. Grandstand tickets at Briggs Stadium were 75 cents in those days, as I recall.

Al Kaline was on the 1968 Tigers. By that time he was near the end of his Hall of Fame career. During his playing days I considered him to have the best outfield throwing arm in the American League. Yaz was close behind. He could throw a strike from 300 feet and beyond every time. Roberto Clemente was the best in the National League.
