Al Kaline was
a model of consistency who excelled with minimum fanfare.
Over 22 seasons, the quiet, durable Tiger outfielder
accumulated 3,007 hits, 399 home runs, a .297 batting
average, 10 Gold Gloves and 15 All-Star team selections. Mr.
Tiger won the batting title in 1955, hitting .340 at the age
of 20. His reputation as a clutch performer was enhanced by
his .379 average against St. Louis in the 1968 World Series.
