RIP Mickey Lolich
pitcher for the Detroit Tigers who won 3 games in the 1968 World Series.
I read years ago that he was right handed and suffered a severe injury, and couldn't throw with that arm. So he started throwing with his left arm and got very good with it. He was a favorite of mine when I was a mere lad...RIP.

Was a little before my time, but as a Detroit native this is a bummer.

I actually saw him pitch (Tiger Stadium) for the Tiger's in 1968 with my dad.
He was an ace on the mound. The 68' Detroit Tigers were amazing.
RIP Denny!
McClain is still alive as far as I know Dano.

McClain is 81 and still alive. Last 30 game winner. Oddly in 1968 but Lolich was the 68 series hero with 3 World Series wins.

We need really good news, like Chuck Schumer's obituary.
