Many Tigers faithful made the drive down I-75 to see Mr. Tiger play in Lakeland. A bucket list trip indeed.

Mark Kaline posted this in LinkedIn: In February of 1954, a few years before
I was even born, my then 19 year old father traveled to Lakeland, Florida to experience his first spring training with the Detroit Tigers. For the next 66 years, the Tiger clubhouse has had a locker with a Uniform ready to go for Number 6, whether while he was a Player, a Broadcaster, a Special Assistant to the team President, or an Ad Hoc Hitting or Fielding Coach.

This year, we all know he will not be there to wear his Number 6, but out of their deep respect for the Man, the Player and their Friend, the Tiger Clubhouse staff readied his Uniform and a locker as they have done for so many years.
No fanfare. No big deal. Just the way Dad would have wanted it.
On behalf of the Kaline family, I would simply like to say Thank You for such a Thoughtful act of Kindness and Respect.

The Tigers are honoring Al Kaline in Lakeland, putting together his uniform at his usual locker.
It?s the first spring training without the Hall of Famer since he first reported to Tiger Town in 1954.

Al Kaline posted more Walks than Strikeouts (18x) during his (22) year career.
Mix in a lifetime .297 BA, 399 HR, and 10 Gold Gloves, and you have one of the game's most complete players.

Mr. Tiger himself, Al Kaline, used to lug his personal gear around in this official Detroit Tigers gray equipment bag, with orange straps. "Detroit Tigers 6" has been stenciled onto the heavy canvas, and a sturdy black board is bolted to the bottom for stability.
