The Daily Fungo – Detroit Tigers Baseball: Yesterday and Today http://www.dailyfungo.com Sat, 21 Nov 2009 05:33:08 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 en hourly 1 Trades! (From 50+ Years Ago) http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheDailyFungo/~3/P3teSDJUAmw/ http://www.dailyfungo.com/2009/11/20/trades-from-50-years-ago/#comments Sat, 21 Nov 2009 05:33:06 +0000 Mike McClary http://www.dailyfungo.com/?p=3020 On Nov. 20. 1957, the Tigers and Kansas City Athletics pulled off a 13-player trade which included second baseman Billy Martin, outfielder Gus Zernial and pitcher Mickey McDermott coming to Detroit.

So what, you ask? So, exactly one year later the Tigers sent Martin and pitcher Al Cicotte to the Indians for relievers Ray Narleski and Don Mossi, and shortstop Ossie Alvarez.

Not the most exciting stuff but, hey, at least it’s about two trades that actually materialized.

(For what it’s worth, in 1990 he wore #17 and #15; in ‘91 he stuck to #15.)

    His best overall season was 1984: .280, 18 HR, 92 RBI and 15 triples. For the Tigers he simply kept centerfield warm for, ahem, Milt Cuyler.

    The Portland, Ark. native hit .255 in two Detroit seasons with a total of 20 homers. He retired after the 1991 season at the surprisingly young age of 31.
