Less than a month after entering Major League Baseball’s Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, Alan Trammell, the Detroit Tigers’ legendary shortstop, was immortalized in Detroit as the Tigers forever retired his No. 3. The club unveiled his name and number in a pregame ceremony on Sunday, which are now painted on the left-center field wall alongside his teammate Jack Morris and other Tigers who have had their numbers retired.
Several of Trammell’s former Detroit team mates were on hand for the ceremony, including Whitaker, Kirk Gibson, Morris, Lance Parrish, Dan Petry, Dave Rozema, Tom Brookens, Frank Tanana, and David Wells.
