Didn't realize he and fellow Tiger Ron LeFlore had a prison connection...

Cool article, thanks for posting. I was always aware of his reputation for being a clutch pinch hitter, but really appreciate his quote about pinch hitting...“Well, one thing, I didn’t do a lot of playing or I wouldn’t have been pinch-hitting.” Sad to see him pass.
