Hobby is watching classic movies: Nice, you don’t see many
ballplayers appreciating older culture.
Favorite sports announcer is Dick Vitale: I guess he likes
college basketball.
Favorite player as a kid was Joe Morgan: Morgan was the best
second baseman of the 1970s; Whitaker was probably the best of the 1980s.
Where he is now: Works as a special spring training
instructor for the Tigers.
Sweet Lou was great and should be in HOF this year with Trammell. Only Charlie Gehringer was a better Tigers 2nd Baseman that Whitaker.
ReplyDeleteEven though I'm a die hard Cubs fan, I could definitely see the argument that Sweet Lou was a better 2nd baseman on the 80s than Ryno. And yet it seems he's almost forgotten now.
ReplyDeleteGreat seeing Lou here!
