Interesting article in today's Detroit Free Press:
How Billy Martin made the Detroit Tigers, and their management, roar 50 years ago
Billy Martin's run with the Detroit Tigers was just before started following the Tigers when I was 8 years old. Ralph Houk was the first manager of the Tigers I remember.
Those were the years when the remnants of the 1968 championship team still were hanging on, Kaline, Freehan, Lolich, Horton, Stanley, etc.
Between the years of 1974 to 1980, they were very lean years, except for 1976 with Mark "The Bird" Fidrych. Then the core players of the 1984 championship team started maturing.
