Baseball Hall of Famer Al Kaline, one of the most beloved and distinguished players of his era who spent his entire 22-year Major League Baseball career with the Detroit Tigers, died on Monday, aged 85, the team said.
Known affectionately as"Mr. Tiger," Kaline was one of the most consistent players and retired not long after he became only the 12th player to reach MLB's elite 3,000-hit club.Kaline, beloved by generations of fans, spent 26 seasons after his retirement providing color commentary for the team's TV broadcasts and the last 18 years in the front office as a special assistant and adviser to the club's senior management.
By the time Kaline's career came to an end in 1974, he was an 18-times All-Star who had collected 3,007 hits, 399 home runs and a .297 career batting average. "Many of us who are fortunate enough to work in baseball have our short lists of the players who mean the most to us. Al Kaline was one of those players for me and countless others, making this a very sad day for our sport," MLB Commissioner Robert Manfred said in a statement.
