Alan Trammell's afternoon becomes Lou Whitaker's afternoon, as well

Detroit Tigers great Alan Trammell speaks to the media after having his No. 3 retired by the team on Sunday, Aug. 26, 2018, at Comerica Park.

The chants were deafening, and on Alan Trammell’s afternoon — with his No. 3 painted on the brick wall beyond left-center field, ready to be unveiled — he wouldn’t have wanted it any other way.

"Lou! Lou! Lou!"

This summer was about Trammell, the iconic Detroit Tigers shortstop, and his teammate Jack Morris, who were inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame last month and had their uniform numbers retired this month.
