RIP Was he teetotal by any chance? with a name like that he should have been! AlKaline had a high pH.

He had a deformed foot. I didn't know this until today.
"Sportswriter Milton Gross described Kaline's deformed foot, saying, "The pinky and middle finger don't touch the ground. The fourth toe is stretched. The second and third are shortened. The first and third toes overlap the second and the fourth is beginning to overlap the big toe, which has begun to bend to the left. It is hard to believe, but for all of his career with the Tigers while he has been called the perfect player, Kaline has bordered on being a cripple" Kaline also had osteomyelitis, t
he same thing that made Mickey Mantle so brittle.

Helluva ballplayer. He suffered from playing his entire career with the woeful Tigers.

Respect for a great player staying with one team and gotten a championship in 1968. RIP
