Coca-Cola/Wendy's has Trammell pose in front of a chain link fence at spring training. Topps has Trammell at bat on a sunny day in Yankee Stadium. Trammell played in five games at Yankee Stadium in 1984, but all were night games, meaning this photo was taken in 1983 or earlier.Alan Trammell was the best shortstop in the American League in the 1980s. He was a big part of the Tigers' early season run, hitting .340 over the first 40 games. He tailed off over the rest of the season but still had a very good .314 average. He had a terrific postseason, hitting .419 (.450 in the World Series) with 3 HR and 9 RBI. In his 20-year career with the Tigers, Trammell hit .285 with 185 HR and 1,003 RBI. He was a good defender, with four Gold Glove awards early in his career. He was voted to the Hall of Fame in 2017. Trammell, who had brief managerial stints with the Diamondbacks and Tigers, is currently a Special Assistant to the General Manager of the Tigers.
