I will never forget the joy he brought us. Detroit was in ashes after the 1967 riots. People were afraid of each other and there was so much hatred.
And then came the 1968 World Series…Tigers behind 3 games to 1 rise from the ashes to win the World Series.
Mickey pitches 3 complete games and hits his only ML home run!
PURE JOY in the streets of Detroit!! People dancing in the streets! Love was everywhere.
