Tigers great Al Kaline has passed

[shoes]

One of the heroes of my childhood, a class act on and off the field. He was a great right fielder, IMO the best with a glove at the position in the American League in my lifetime  (Clemente in the NL is his only peer). A fine hitter with good power. He had a strong accurate arm and always thru to the correct base. Not a base stealer, he nonetheless was an excellent base runner, going first to third or second to home. Never played a day in the minor leagues.
