My uncle was one of the greatest influences on my life. We lost him far too early at 53. He lived in Detroit, was an exec for GM, a WW2 Navy Vet, and played basketball for a small college in Ohio.
He took me to see a Tigers game in Detroit and Al Kaline was on that team.
RIP Mr Kaline, you brought joy to a man I loved deeply.
Sports do bring us together.
