Horton was cool, remember Earl Wilson, our only black pitcher of the day, and he could hit, DAMN. Mickey Stanley played every position EXCEPT PITCHER AND CATCHER that year. Those boys had it going on... The coach just knew how to get the MOST out of his guys and he played his gut... It payed off. Don't forget Denny McKlain and Mickey Loliech, Gates Brown would come in and pinch hit a home run every time. Pat Dobson in the Pen, and all that we are forgetting, we love you all. You guys made history, you brought Detroit out of the ashes. We love you all.
