A brief series about former Detroit Tigers players who died in 2020 begins with a remembrance of Frank Bolling, who wore the Olde English D for six seasons.
Only five guys have played more games at second base for the Detroit Tigers than Frank Bolling (779). He is slotted in between Damion Easley (794) and Placido Polanco (625) on the franchise’s all-time list. Bolling joined the Tigers during a period when young talent was being infused into a rebuilding team.
