The world of baseball is mourning the death of legendary Detroit Tigers pitcher and 1968 World Series MVP Mickey Lolich at the age of 85. 'One of the finest pitchers in franchise history, Lolich was a three-time All-Star who pitched for Detroit for 13 seasons and holds several Tigers team records. 'He was a member of the 1968 World Series Champion Tigers team, earning World Series MVP honors after posting a 3-0 record with a 1.67 ERA. The Tigers never truly honored Lolich's accomplishments, what he did in the World Series.' I grew up watching Mickey Lolich play.
