Major League Baseball loses an icon as Al Kaline dies at 85
He was just 18 when he was a rookie but went on to be an 18-time All-Star in 22 seasons all with one team, a 10-time Gold Glover and a World Series champion.
But ultimately Al Kaline was Mr. Tiger.

What's the best way to start a Jackie Robinson card collection?
Today's the day where everyone in Major League Baseball dons No. 42 as a tribute to the man who changed the game -- and America -- forever.
On this day back in 1947, Jackie Robinson became a baseball and social pioneer, breaking MLB's color barrier and helping change how the game was played. His actions undoubtedly helped with the civil rights movement, which had its landmark legal act nearly two decades later.
