Denny McLain on a mission to keep the memories of 1968 Tigers alive

This is part of an occasional series looking back on the 1968 World Series champion Detroit Tigers.

Former Detroit Tigers great Denny McLain has never enjoyed life as much as he is now.

The former MVP and Cy Young award winner, who was known for his carefree attitude on and off the field, travels across the country appearing at sports trade-shows alongside other former MLB and Tigers players.

He hangs out at local high schools, ballparks and theatres, interacting and sharing stories with fans about the Tigers 1968 World Series team.

"I really enjoy being out with the fans, hearing a lot of great stories, especially here in Detroit," said McLain, who lives in Livingston County.
