Al Kaline, nicknamed "Mr. Tiger", is one of the greatest Detroit Tigers of all-time.  Kaline was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1980.  Kaline played his entire 22-year baseball career with the Tigers.  Kaline played in the outfield, mainly as a right fielder, where he was known for his strong throwing arm and where he won 10 Gold Gloves.  He is also a member of the very exclusive 3,000 Hit Club.  After retiring from playing, he became the Tigers' TV color commentator, a position he held until 2002. Kaline still works for the Tigers in various capacities and you can still see him in uniform from time to time at Spring Training.
