I could not pass up this photo of my childhood favorite ballplayer, Al Kaline. The pose is similar to photo on his rookie card, and one he has used on several other occasions. Photo taken on same day as Tigers announced his signing was over the top for me.
My second win was of George Kell, who was Tigers radio and TV broadcaster for some 35 years, and teamed with Kaline as TV broadcaster for 21 years. So obtaining these two early career photos of these two HOFers was for me, a devout Tiger fan, terrific.
