About this item

Recognized in his prime as one of baseball's best, Alan Trammell was a World Series hero and a central figure in one of the greatest pennant races in the American League. For nearly two decades he played an all-around game as a fielder, hitter, and baserunner--rare for shortstops of his era. From his early days as a multi-sport prep star in the talent-rich San Diego area to an impressive through the minor leagues, he won over doubters and overcame setbacks to become one of the top players in Detroit Tigers history.
