There have been plenty of great and unexpected stories from the Detroit Tigers early in the season, with many players defying expectation and making the club a heck of a lot of fun to watch. Not all of those stories are t-shirt worthy (Akil Baddoo’s breakout certainly has been), but we think one other player

Derek Holland wanted to talk to Alex Lange on Saturday night in the Detroit Tigers‘ bullpen at Progressive Field in Cleveland. “He called me over and sat me down in the first inning and was just kind of going over some things to do,” Lange said.

Recently, MLB.com published their updated version of the Detroit Tigers top 30, complete with the new international signees and…
Some of us were there for the whole, inconceivable show in 1976.
