I remember sitting in the left field bleachers during the 91 season for a game. Ball were flying out like crazy.

A guy, a few rows away, went to get him and his buddies beers. While he was gone, Deer hit one right to his seat. The look on his face when he came back and his buddy had the ball in hand was priceless.

Same thing happened to me , i was at a white sox / Yankees game and i went to the bathroom to smoke and Ozzie Guiilen drilled one down the left field line just foul , and the ball hit my empty seat . When i got back my brother had the ball and was dude it hit your seat ! I was like no way , but all the fans around us were like yea man it really did !! Moral of the story , dont start smoking kids lol

A player who had a nice start to his career that became awful. Like his short stay with the Tigers.

I had to look up who they got for him. Bad trade.

Bill Madlock. Tiger and a Giant (and a Pirate, Cub, Ranger and Dodger)

And he had two separate stints with the Tigers.

One year wonder, who had his career year at age 24.

But still a very long way off.

He had one of the most (to opposing pitchers) showboating HR trots ever. He'd take his time and touch the OF grass between second and third. Also was a basket-catching OF with no one on base or with two out. A real "hot dog" in the jargon of the day.

Only a half a season with Detroit but he was a favorite..
