Detroit Free Press

The Detroit Historical Museum is gearing up for its annual birthday celebration Saturday as the city turns 320. A widely known capsule of history, education and art, the museum’s latest event will highlight Mickey Lolich, a star of the 1968 World Series-winning Detroit Tigers.

The museum also will reveal Lolich’s engraved handprints in Legends Plaza — joining the signatures of techno artist Eddie Fowlks, retired WXYZ-TV anchor Diana Lewis, retired Detroit Lions running back Barry Sanders and other famous names associated with the city.
