I looked for primary (>50% of games @) 2B with 1500 PA between age 34 and 38. That limited my sample to just 41 players. Lou Whitaker?s 134 OPS+ ranks SECOND among those (behind only Nap Lajoie?s 156).

Best season as a Tiger!
Darrell Evans, '84-'88.
This surprised me! A toss up between '85 and '87! I thought his 40 homer '85 season would be a slam dunk. The productivity that Darrell had as a 38 and 40 year old is astounding!

Tigers factoid of the day.
