Detroit Tigers Hall of Famer Al Kaline Died at the Age of 85

Via Detroit Free Press:

Al Kaline, who in a long and unique Detroit Tigers lifetime grew from youthful batting champion to Hall of Famer to distinguished elder statesman, died Monday afternoon at his home in Bloomfield Hills. He was 85.

A cause of death was not immediately available. John Morad, a close friend of the family, confirmed the news to the Free Press after speaking with Kaline’s younger son, Mike. 

RIP to another sports legend.  Not many guys stay with the same club for 22 years these days.
