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.

Topics: Bodyguards, Lances, Rico Suave
