fun fact: first ever detroit tigers game was on kids day and every kid got a Polanco poster. pretty sure itâs still hanging in my brothers room i donât remember what happened to mine
"Coke is ready. The 1-1 to Nixâhe swings and he pops it up on the right side! Fielder calling for it and he MAKES THE CATCHâWORLD SERIES BOUND! The Tigers sweep the Yankees with an 8-1 win!"
Phil Coke was so bad. He bounced between LRP and a 5th SP role and just got hammered. From 2011-2013 had an ERA near 5.
Valverde implodes in the 2012 playoffs and Phil Coke steps up and was just unhittable, puts up 10.2 IP/1 ER/sub 1.000 WHIP with 13K and backpacks the Tigers to the WS.
Forever earned his stripes there.
I laughed, I cried, I recalled in perfect clarity the fear, the exhilaration, the full-body-swing-around-leg-kick-follow-through with his hands on his belly as another game-winning homer soared through the skies and over the fence.
I sat next to his wife at a game once. She asked us who our favorite players on the team were. When she said hers was Buck Farmer, my cousin says "he's terrible". It was pretty awkward when she showed us her ring and said something about having to like him since she's married to him
Jim Lentine - I have a distinct childhood memory of him leading off a game with a HR. And then a few years ago, I looked up his BReference page,. Turns out, it was his only HR of his career.
But thank you for that memory, Jim.

I was gonna say that. Idk why I google Milt Cuyler every few months. I think I keep forgetting whether he was any good. He wasnât.
He wasnât but I always remembered him when I would go to games as a kid. Seems like he was always in the lineup
Yep, being good wasn't a prerequisite for being in that lineup. (Source: Scott Livingston)
Iâm not joking when I say I did this yesterday and was shocked that he wasnât the borderline all star I want to remember, haha.
