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

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…

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.
