To many of those who witnessed those late-60s and early-70s teams, Lolich was an all-time favorite.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Which leads to today\u2019s Tigers Topic discussion: Who is your all-time favorite member of the Motor City Kitties? They do not necessarily need to be someone from your lifetime; for instance, mine is Hank Greenberg, for what he did on and off the field.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">But I also had Alan Trammell and Lou Whitaker, who ushered me into Tiger fandom, as well as Cecil Fielder and the excitement he brought to the D in the early 90s. And I certainly cannot forget Miguel Cabrera and Justin Verlander, both of whom are sure-fire Hall of Famers and had the Tigers on the cusp of World Series rings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">So enough about me, who is your all-time favorite?
