Bobby Higginson. Honestly, he was the reason (and my family) that I started watching the Tigers. I like Brad Ausmus & Dean Palmer too. Steve Sparks was another good one. This is the 90s I'm talking about..we (Tigers fans) didn't have a very good group of guys to choose from. |

Haha...Bobby Higginson? Oh wow, I feel bad thats a childhood idol. I was lucky enough to start watching at the beginning on the 90's...at the end of Lou Whitikar and Alan Trammel's playing days. They were 2 favorites of mine, especially sweet Looooou, as I played 2nd base during hard ball. But the man I loved was a different type of player... ![]() and because of him I love to see Prince do well for the brew crew (except on the off chance they play the tigers). One of my first baseball games had the first 3 players on the team get on base, loading the bases for Cecil who hit a grand salami. My favorite non baseball athlete would have to be: ![]() Dougie! I cried the day the leafs traded him. |

My childhood wasn't in the 80s. Tram & Gibby were at the end of their careers when I started watching. |

Jeff Conine AKA Mr. Marlin and John Elway. |
![]() Hanley Ramirez doesn't make errors--the ball is just afraid of him. Shadez was the first man to walk on the moon... with sunglasses on. In rookie ball, he drove a ball to deep centerfield, only to be informed he had been traded on his way to first base. So, he sprinted to the wall and robbed himself of a homerun. He can turn a man to stone just by looking at him without his shades. Was pointed at when Babe Ruth supposedly called his shot. The June 24th game between the Marlins and Yankees was not, in fact, called by rain as was previously reported. Hanley had plans. And by plans we mean a date. With a girl. A babe if you will.

I started watching baseball pretty much at the height of Cecil's greatness. By that point, I don't think Gibson had quite started his 2nd tigers stint and Trammel's best days were behind him. Tram did get an honrable mention and is half the reason for my user name. |

Well when I was really young (like 8-9) It was Mo Vaugh (also a player named Scott Cooper :wub:) and then in my teens it was Nomar. |
