I'll just go ahead and say what everybody is thinking regarding probably 80% of these guys:

He was a Tiger?

Most of them I remember, actually, but there's always one or two that confuse me. This time it's Jefferies.

A real lackluster collection of players, overall.

I'm a big fan of Duffy Dyer's work on Magnum P.I.

Lino did some of his best work pitching in the Digital Vortex League.

I'm almost disappointed that Lino Urdaneta got another shot. He left Detroit with an ERA of infinity, which was awesome. It dropped to 63.00 when he pitched his inning for us.

Who is that between Rico and Ginter? Billy Baldwin?

Jefferies had the first Tigers RBI at Comerica Park.

I was looking for two Harry Chiti Tigers cards, before and after.

He probably caused the digital vortex by forcing the universe to attempt to divide by zero in order to account for him.

Last year when batmags thoughtfully posted the Brewer-Mets, every one of them seemed like an ex-Brewer who happened to have been a Met. This crew, though logically I was aware that they had all motored to or from Detroit, just struck me as "really?". Perhaps a function of general unawareness of what the Tigers are up to most years.

Or maybe this is all denial centered around Rusty and Laxton for Lolich and Baldwin.

Some Cardboard Tiger MIA's: Dean Chance, Vince Coleman, Joe Grzenda, Clem Labine, Elliott Maddox, The Other Bob Miller (L.), John Pacella, Timo Perez.

Mets who were Tigers

This still makes me sad. &*$! M. Donald Grant.

I'm just weirded out by how different he looks in his card portraits from his appearance on the field.
