2026 DETROIT TIGERS REGULAR SEASON THREAD

[NorthWoods]

The Willie picture got me started, remembering how he held his bat:

I would have sworn he held it even higher when he was younger.

I learned he played 2 full seasons in the PCL AFTER 18 years in MLB.  I never knew that.

This is a great article on Willie, anyone young enough not to know what he did during the Detroit riot of 1967 should read it to understand why he's so beloved in this town.
