But how did Easely and Polanco get a vte before Sweet Lou. Which is why I gave my vote to Sweet Lou.

 

[tycobb420]

Intriguing start to this one!

 

[tigers99888]

Where is "the Mechanical Man" nickname?

 

[Mitchrapp]

2 votes for Easely, lmao.

Where is "the Mechanical Man" nickname?

iirc it was given to him by the yankees pitcher lefty gomez.
"You wind Gehringer up at the start of the season and he bats .350 for the year and plays second base flawlessly".

Tigers have the most Runs Created at the position than any other team.
Gehringer, McAuliffe, Whitaker, Polanco as the major contributors.

1934 the Tigers infield was nicknamed "The Battalion of Death" four starters Greenberg, Gehringer, Rogell, Owen had 462 rbi which is still a major league record.

Pudge beats out Freehan and Parrish? What is this Dancing with the Stars? Where have all the intelligent posters gone

In today's game, Bill Freehan is a .340 hktter. With superb defense.

Yes. His one great year beat out Parrish and Freehan and Cochrane.

Mr. Gehringer pulling away.

 

[tycobb420]

Lou cuts the lead to 7. I thought the board was a little younger. Nice to see some love for Lou.

Charlie G. has the stats.... But Lou does deserve the HOF...
