I remember seeing Kaline break his arm in I think 62 or 63. He was having possibly his greatest season ever.

On TV by the way, not in person

4–2 bottom of the eighth. You know, all it would take for the universe to be in perfect symmetry would be two more runs.

….from the Tigers

Still dealing with a sample size, but McGonigle has been very impressive at the plate.

In sports if you read it in the newspaper you've seen it.

I still feel fortunate to have been watching the game of the Tigers against the Yankees when Hank Aguirre lofted a ball with the bases loaded and with the infield drawn in because he was the worst hitter in the world, to triple in three runs into the monuments. I could’ve read that but to see it on TV was freaking unreal, historic. As I remember, he loped around the bases because he wasn’t a particularly fast runner, go figure…

You can hear it coming down the street.    You can hear the squeak in the breaks with every stop. 

 

 

 

It's rolling closer.    Two blocks away now

I am pretty sure I've never seen a Tigers rookie who was so good as a hitter at such a young age.  

also did not see young Kaline, but to lay out the comparison: McGonigle is 21. Kaline had a monster season at age 20, 8.2 WAR, Batting title, 967 OPS,  MVP runner up. but it was not his rookie season, it was his *second* full season. In his rookie yr Kaline had a nice season, was 3rd in ROY voting, but 650 OPS and 1.2 WAR. McGonigle on a pace to top easily if he stays on it.

Nine pitches for Kenley to get the second out… and he’s all smiles. He’s not worried one bit. I love this guy.

[IdahoBert]

Kenley is really working to get out of this inning

[SoCalTiger]

Kenly gassed.
