Which Tigers players have been named All-Star? MLB Immaculate Grid Answers August 6
The MLB Immaculate Grid daily puzzle game refreshed the memories of Detroit Tigers fans on August 6, as it quizzed fans about their players who were named an All-Star.
Former second baseman Lou Whitaker will forever be remembered by the Detroit Tigers fan for his heroics during a career that spanned almost two decades.
Whitaker made his MLB debut for the Tigers in 1977 and remained with the club until his retirement in 1995. Whitaker was named the AL Rookie of the Year in 1978 after an impressive season with the Tigers.
The five-time All-Star made his first appearance in the Midsummer Classic in 1983. He won the Gold Glove and Silver Slugger awards in three consecutive seasons from 1983 to 1985.
Alan Trammell was another youngster who made his debut for the Tigers in 1977, and the former shortstop enjoyed a similar career to that of his teammate Whitaker.
Much like his teammate, Trammell spent the entirety of his MLB career, 20 years, with the Tigers. His first of six All-Star appearances came in 1980. He also won the Gold Glove award for the first time that year.
The six-time All-Star was named the World Series MVP after his side's World Series triumph in 1984. He announced his retirement in 1996 but returned to the Tigers as a manager in 2003. He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2018.
