Al Kaline

1961 Chemstrand Iron-On Patch

Albert William Kaline (December 19, 1934-April 6, 2020) was the third recipient of the Roberto Clemente Award honoring the players who best “exemplifies the game of baseball, sportsmanship, community involvement and the individual’s contribution to his team.” Kaline was a fixture in the Detroit Tigers (1953-1974) line-up for 22 seasons, earning him the nickname “Mr. Tiger” and he remains one of the most beloved sports figures in Detroit’s history. Referred to as a “bonus baby”, Al skipped time in the farm system and joined the team directly from high school, making his debut in late June of 1953 at the age of 18. In 1955, Kaline won the American League batting title with a .340 average, making him the youngest player to win the award and beating out fellow Hall of Famers George Kell, Nelson Fox and Mickey Mantle by more than 20 points. Al Kaline was an 18-times AL All-Star selection, collected 10 Gold Gloves and hit an incredible .379 against the St. Louis Cardinals leading the Tigers to the 1968 World Series title. AL Kaline retired with 3,007 hits, 1,622 runs scored, 1,583 RBI, 399 home runs and a .297 career batting average. Albert William Kaline was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1980.
