When Brookens started his pro career I couldn't stand him. I later became a big fan of his.

 

[tycobb420]

His brother supposedly stood in for him during a spring training game one year.

Would love for his timeline to include third base coach starting in 2013.

Would love for his timeline to include third base coach starting in 2013.

Followed sometime thereafter to include manager....

 

[tycobb420]

I almost added a future post...something like this.

2013-14: Third Base coach
2014-2034: Tiger Manager
2045: Elected to HOF as a manager

He's be 92 years old when he was elected to the HoF, and 82 when he retired.

Did not say my amended timeline would be accurate.
