Description

For just about two decades Alan Trammell displayed an all-around game as a fielder, hitter, and base runner that was once rare for shortstops of his era. With second baseman Lou Whitaker, he formed one-half of arguably the greatest double-play combination in baseball history and was once an integral piece of one of the most signature teams of the 1980’s. Trammell was once a World Series hero and a central figure in one of the most greatest pennant races in American League history.
From his early days as a multi-sport prep star within the talent-wealthy San Diego area, through a meteoric ascension up the minor league ladder and into the big leagues, Trammell won over doubters and overcame setbacks to transform one of the most top players within the Detroit Tigers’ history. He joined Ty Cobb and Al Kaline as the one players to spend 20 seasons in Detroit, and later served an in poor health-fated managerial stint with the franchise. This exhaustively researched biography provides the first book-length account of the life and career of one of the well known figures in Detroit sports history.
