Lance Parrish #95/669

 

This week, an All Star catcher, leader of the 1984 Champion Tigers, and one time Tina Turner bodyguard...it's Lance Parrish! Parrish was a Tigers first round pick, would play in 8 All Star games, win 3 Gold Gloves, 6 Silver Sluggers, and help Mr. Drummond coach little league on Diff'rent Strokes. Collusion forced him out of Detroit, he struggled in Philadelphia, and then turned it around with the Angels. After 19 seasons, he went into coaching and still serves as a Tigers Ambassador.

Kal Daniels #622

 

This week, one of the best hitters in the set never played in an All Star Game and sadly, couldn't stay on the field...it's Kal Daniels! Daniels had great speed, an amazing eye and could flat out hit, but his knees were a constant problem. His is another "what-if" scenario for the 80s Reds and Daniels was traded to the Dodgers. His career only lasted 7 seasons and he has since kept a low profile coaching youngsters in  Georgia.
