I was born in Detroit. I have a great memory of Mickey Lolich starring in the 67 World Series saving the day for the Tigers. He might not serve them to Ted, but he has all of Michiganders of a certain time in his cheering section.

But then you haved to talk about Bob Gibson and that old lion really did own the plate for a lot of years.

Cards beat BoSox in 7 games in 67 World Series. Lolich and the Tigers beat the Cards the next year 68. I still haven't gotten over the lose to this day.

I remember too. In modern times, Mickey may have been a HOF'r. Over-used, under-appreciated. Check his stats. 1971, 376 innings pitched. Four years in a row, over 300 innings. Let's see someone do that now. Not happening.
