Name This Tiger

[ryors]

Borrowing an idea from another place here at baseball fever, see if you can name this Tiger.

[Seattle1]

Denny McLain?

[ryors]

No, it is not Denny McLain......

Hint - pitcher and team mate of Eddie Brinkman

[Tram2Lou]

Joe Coleman?

[Captain Cold Nose]

Woody Fryman?

[ryors]

no.... it is not Woody Fryman, but that is fine guess.....

Hint: This player came to the Tigers in a seven player deal in 1970.

[ryors]

Tram2Lou is correct.... it is Joe Coleman.

Joe came to the Tigers along with Ed Brinkman, Jim Hannan, and Aurelio Rodriguez in 1970 for Elliot Maddox, Denny McClain, Norm McRae, and Don Wert.

After being named to the All-Star team in 1972, his best year as a Tiger was 1973 when he went 23-15 with a 3.53 ERA in 288 innings. He threw 13 complete games that year.

A quality Tiger, who was purchased by the Chicago Cubs in 1976.


Now Tram2Lou it is your turn.... post 'em and we will try to figure out your "Name this Tiger".

Sincerely,
ryors

[ryors]

Let's try this one:

[r@cosun]

Is that Rob Fick?

[ryors]

you are correct!

[r@cosun]

Sweet! Guess that means I'm up:

Who's this dude?

[tigers527]

The Ryan Raburn of 2000-2003, Shane Halter....or is Ryan Raburn the Shane Halter of 2009? Either way that is Shane Halter.

[r@cosun]

The Ryan Raburn of 2000-2003, Shane Halter....or is Ryan Raburn the Shane Halter of 2009? Either way that is Shane Halter.

Quite right, sir. Halter was an absolute waste of a roster spot, IMO (as 527 knows), and I firmly believe that he had a face-lift and now goes by the name Ryan Raburn.

[tigers527]

Let's see if I can figure out how to make a picture in a post....

[tigers527]

Yipee I did it, so who's the guy in that GIANT picture?

[The Commissioner]

That has to be John Wockenfuss. The classic '70s facial hair gives it away.

[tigers527]

we have a winner!

[The Commissioner]

This should be a little tougher... :think:

[tigers527]

This should be a little tougher... :think:
Come on man, you can't roll in here with someone that obscure. I mean a WWII era catcher who in 4 years had 137 ABs, who's supposed to figure that one out...

...okay well, I cheated to find out who dude was.

tigers527 <-----checking for old oatmeal box pics of Deacon White for the next time he gets to post a pic up here.

[The Commissioner]

Wow!!! I'm impressed. Seriously, I thought that was going to be much harder one.

How do you even go about "cheating" when figuring out a photo? You can't just Google that like you do with a trivia question.

Tigers527 got it correct. The photo is that of former Tigers' catcher, Hank Riebe. Riebe played four years for Detroit in 1942 and from 1947-49. In between stints he was awarded two purple hearts in WWII.

Lemme start by saying I did not intentionally set about this trying to cheat. What I did since the picture you posted was rather small I copied the pic to my desk top intending on zooming in on the fellow, well once I looked at the pic file on said desk top, it had the file name Harvey Riebe, well from there it was pretty easy figuring out who the guy was.

I gotta think he is one of the few people ever to suit up for a major league club AFTER winning 2 purple hearts.

[The Commissioner]

I gotta think he is one of the few people ever to suit up for a major league club AFTER winning 2 purple hearts.

Although, Warren Spahn played the majority of his career after being awarded both the Purple Heart and the Bronze Star. I would have to think after facing the Nazis at the Battle of the Bulge, going up against Musial and Mays must have literally felt like child's play.

[riverfrontier]

I assume the protocol is to let the person who correctly named the player to post the next one, but since it hasn't been stated, I'll jump in. This is an easy guess, but a great photo.

[ryors]

Prince Hal.....

Hall of Famer Hal Newhauser.

[riverfrontier]

That's it. That's a photo from 1948, by the way. You don't see many from that time in color.

[Captain Cold Nose]

Newhouser lived on the street my father grew up on. Hal's final resting place is about two miles from my parents' present house.

[riverfrontier]

Captain, are you saying that your father grew up at the same time and on the same block as Hal Newhouser, when Newhouser was a Tiger? Do tell. If your father was there at the same time as Hal, great. If your father was a generation behind, there still must be some neighborhood pride/stories to recall.


Kirk Gibson (worst Tiger ever) should thank his lucky stars that it was HE who hit those home runs in the '84 and '88 World Series to become the most fabled Michigan-born ballplayer since everybody forgot Gehringer and Newhouser.


OK...................somebody post an unknown Tiger

[tigers527]

[ryors]

Nook Logan?

[tigers527]

Nook Logan?
You are correct sir.

[ryors]

How about this one? :think:

[riverfrontier]

Fred Scherman, from my favorite set of babseball cards, 1972 Topps.

[riverfrontier]

This (in)famous Tiger is shown wearing the pajamas of the Atlanta Braves. The high leg kick is a dead give-away.

[ryors]

Denny McLain....

And you are exactly right about the high leg kick giving him away.

Now.. can you name this Tiger?

[riverfrontier]

Daryl Patterson.

[ryors]

You are correct Riverfronter..... I thought that ole Daryl would be a little tougher....

Toss one up for us to take a crack at.

[riverfrontier]

Take your pick. both share the same name.

[r@cosun]

Tony Phillips?

[riverfrontier]

Tony Phillips it is. Your turn to befuddle us, r@co.

[The Commissioner]

Oh come on! No one bothered to chime in with the obvious other thing those two have in common... They're great!

[r@cosun]

Sorry if this is too easy....

[tigers527]

Darnell Coles?

[r@cosun]

Darnell Coles?

Negative. Here's a hint: he's a World Champion.

[riverfrontier]

Would that be Tiger broadcaster Rod Allen?

[r@cosun]

Would that be Tiger broadcaster Rod Allen?

Yep, Mr. Country Strong himself.

[Captain Cold Nose]

Captain, are you saying that your father grew up at the same time and on the same block as Hal Newhouser, when Newhouser was a Tiger? Do tell. If your father was there at the same time as Hal, great.

OK...................somebody post an unknown Tiger

They lived on the same street at the same time, my father as a kid and Newhouser as a Tiger. He was a clubhouse kid for the team growing up, so he knew all the players. When he and I went to Cooperstown a few years back, he spent a lot of time in the library looking up the players who would babysit him in the dugout (no stars) while my grandfather sold programs. The biggest name he actually got close to as a kid was Billy Pierce.

He's never really talked much about it. I guess he doesn't think it was such a big deal. I'll ask him who he really knew and about Newhouser next time I see him.

If I could figure out how to paste a picture . . .

[riverfrontier]

That's remarkable about your father. People write books about things like that, y'know. The fly-on-the-wall vantage point.
I hadn't realized that Ken Macha, the current manager of the Brewers, is Newhouser's cousin.




Ok, who is this Tiger? For bonus points, what was significant about his debut with the Tigers?

[Captain Cold Nose]

Isn't that Mark Wagner?

[riverfrontier]

No, it's not Mark Wagner. Here's the first hint: He was a teammate of Mark Wagner for a few years.

[riverfrontier]

Here's another hint: An anagram of his name reads as "ADORED UPTOWN"

[ryors]

I believe it is Pat Underwood.

And now .... for the extra credit....

Pat made his debut on May 31, 1979 at Toronto's Exhibition Stadium against the Blue Jays. The starting pitcher that night for the Jays just happened to be Pat's brother Tom.

Tigers won the game 1-0. Pat threw 8 1/3 innings not giving up a run and allowing only 3 hits. Dave Tobik (Ohio University) relieved Pat after Pat had given up a double to Alfredo Griffin with one out in the 9th. Tobik got Bob Bailor to fly out. John Hiller then relieved Tobik and struck out Roy Howell to pick up a save and preserve the win for Pat.

Just for the record, Tom Underwood threw a complete game that night giving up only six hits. The toughest part for Tom was probably the fact that the loss dropped his record to 0-7 at that point.

Nice one... and I like the extra credit.......

Let me know if I did ok on this one......

[riverfrontier]

Good job. You are correct on all counts. That game is so memorable to me because I saw it on TV as a kid. It was one of the highlights of 1979, along with Sparky Anderson's arrival, and my first trip to Tiger Stadium.

Your turn.

[ryors]

[Captain Cold Nose]

Friend to the automaker Jim Bunning.

I was trying to find a decent Pat Underwood picture. Maybe that's why i whiffed on this one, that picture never came up in my searching. I believe he started his career 6-0 or something like that. Or was it 5-0 and he finished the season at 6-4.

[Captain Cold Nose]

Guy in the middle.

[riverfrontier]

Dave Rozema?

[Captain Cold Nose]

Dave Rozema?

Not Gibson's buddy, although they were teammates for a brief while.

[riverfrontier]

I should have known that hairstyle was not Dave Rozema. I got his and Milt Wilcox's autograph at a mall in Saginaw after the '84 Series. He had a feathered hairstyle (RIP Farrah) and was very distant (aloof?) at the event. Probably having a hard night's day.


BTW, as Kirk Gibson was mentioned, the reason I referred to him in a previous post as the worst Tiger ever was because of his boorish (d**kish?) behavior with the fans at Tiger Stadium.


OK, back to the unknown Tiger...moustache....moustache.....

It is NOT Rick Leach.
It is NOT Mike Laga.
It is NOT Howard Johnson.


Is it Richie Hebner?

That's how i took your assessment of Gibson. Uh, yeah, agreed. And away from Tiger Stadium, too.

Earlier than HoJo and Laga, I'm pretty sure. Around Leach's time. He was a starter around the same time as Pat Underwood.

[riverfrontier]

Good hint. This guy was completely off my radar. 1982 was a year I spent at three seperate schools, and the Tiger teams from that year, as well as '81 (strike nonsense) are not as etched into my mind as others.

I do remember being at Tiger Stadium when Steve Kemp made his first appearance there as a White So(ck)x. Everybody had fun booing him. It was also the first time I saw those horrible SOX uniforms, and that was 1982, so it's not that big of a blank.


I just somehow chased Jerry Ujdur out of my mind like a cross-dressing cousin.

Wait.

No.

A cross-dressing cousin would be pretty hard to forget.

We have a winner! Jerry Ujdur it is. He was at the back of the rotation for a very brief time, looked like he could be the goods. I think he actually replaced Pat Underwood when he fanned out.

[riverfrontier]

The association with these people raised the profile of this Tiger.

The association with this Tiger raised the profile of these people.

Who they?

[tigers527]

Jim Walewander and the Dead Milkmen?

[riverfrontier]

Jim Walewander and the Dead Milkmen it is.

Here's a great interview with him about the whole thing. You can't not like this guy. http://www.chinmusic.net/Walewander.html

[tigers527]

I liked both The Dead Milkmen, and Jim Walewander, but back then I liked Scott Lusader better (better than Jim Walewander, not better than the Dead Milkmen).

Now who's this former Tiger (after a rough night)?

[r@cosun]

Could that be David Wells after a bar fight? It kinda looks like Pablo Escobar after they finally wacked him.

[tigers527]

You are correct sir (in my best Ed McMahon).

[r@cosun]

Wells was one of my favorite Tigers of all-time. Pretty successful after he left, too, perhaps more successful than ever before.

This one shouldn't be too hard:

[r@cosun]

Nobody? Really? Did raco find a stumper? Hmmm....

Here's a hint: he was once viewed as the future at his position for the Tigers (didn't quite pan out).

[ryors]

Torey Lovullo ????? :noidea

Sparky hyped him as a future hall of famer.... but he never quite panned out.

[r@cosun]

Nope, not him. I had no idea this dude would be a stumper, but SWEET!

Hint #3 (should be the giveaway): Was once competition with Mark McGwire.

[Captain Cold Nose]

They ran his picture in the latest Sporting News. It's Matt Nokes, who most ably replaced All Star Lance Parrish for a few seasons.

[r@cosun]

They ran his picture in the latest Sporting News. It's Matt Nokes, who most ably replaced All Star Lance Parrish for a few seasons.

Finally! Nice job, CCN. Nokes was once my favorite Tiger, and as a kid in Little League, when practicing my "moon shots", I'd refer to a homer as "Noking" it. Not sure if it was injuries or what, but after that rookie year in which he was second to McGwire in the ROY vote, his power was never the same.

[tigers527]

I know I am outta turn here but, who's this Tiger....



HINT: at one time Racoson would rather have Craig Monroe than him?

[r@cosun]

Hey, at one time Monroe was better than him! I have to give the guy props, it's been awhile since we've had an All-Star dude at the hot corner, and in my opinion NOBODY plays better D over there. The power is unlike him, which is the reason he's an All-Star this season. It bodes well for our season, as his other good power year got us to the World Series.

Oh, by the way, he's Brandon "I'm finally earning my contract, unlike most others" Inge.

[Captain Cold Nose]

Don't worry about going out of turn. I tried a couple of pictures, but they did not show up. I appreciate the initiative due to my lack of picture proficiency.

I liked Monroe at one point, too.

[r@cosun]

Since CCN is having technical difficulties, I'll post one:

[r@cosun]

Hint #1: a former All-Star...

Hint #2: his first name is Jacinto.

[tigers527]

knew this one from the pic, but had to check out that odd name on BB reference....who knew, I guess Raco did.

Damion Easley

[tigers527]

How about this guy?

[r@cosun]

I could be wrong here, but isn't that the infamous sausage basher, Randall Simon? I only recognize him because I was gonna post his pic instead of Easley's.

[tigers527]

Winner winner chicken dinner, it is indeed Randall Simon. Frankly, I did not remember him being so...um...fat.

[r@cosun]

Here's one for the older crowd:

[riverfrontier]

In my best Chris Berman imitation, Dizzy "Rainbow" Trout.

[r@cosun]

Correct, sir! Can't believe Matt Nokes was a tougher pic than Mr. Trout, but I should never underestimate the knowledgable crowd here at BBF. Dizzy Trout, on top of having one of the coolest names this side of Dick Trickle, won 27 games for us one year.

[ryors]

Since it has been awhile...... let's get back to the identification of Tigers.....

Name this Tiger

[ryors]

ok... must be time for a hint or two..... He was a part of the pitching staff that won the American League East in 1972.......

[ryors]

ok... must be time for a hint or two..... He was a part of the pitching staff that won the American League East in 1972.......

Hmmmm... still no guesses.....

How about this hint?

This Tiger pitcher was third in the American League with 27 saves in 1970.

[Gee Walker]

I had to look him up, but I remember him now. Right-handed pitcher who wore glasses - Tom Timmerman. The Tigers got him as part of the Rocky Colavito trade.

I can't find a picture of this guy in a Tigers' uniform, but I did like him when he played for us.

[riverfrontier]

TOo Many people had noT the tIMe nor inclination to access baseball alManac, nor any of thE otheR Multiple bAseball refereNce sites on the Net.


Hope that clears things up.

I was initially going to guess Joe Sparma, but I was afraid if I did so out loud, the older locker room boys would laugh and steal my clothes. Thanks for the clues.

ryors, I know how it feels to have threads die on you. One minute it's fun for all, the next minute everybody suddenly decides to run off and leave you for jimmyjimjimz.

Your insistence has been persistent, and your persistence has been insistent. Now say that ten times quickly, as I go hunting for Tigers, and if U want 2 keep this thread @live, opt to give us a clue or two with the first post of the unknown Tiger.



To assure you I'm not moving out of turn, the man's name is spelled out in the upper case letters of the initial sentence.

[Buntforahit]

Is that Phillies fan favorite Tony Taylor?

[riverfrontier]

Gee, Gee Walker, ya beat me to the punch. Go ahead, throw up a Tiger. (!)

[Gee Walker]

Is that Phillies fan favorite Tony Taylor?

Right on! Before Phillips and Clark, he was the original "Tony the Tiger".

I'll stick with the "Phillies to Tigers" players. This guy had a brief, but excellent stay with the Tigers.

[Buntforahit]

Kevin Saucier!

[Gee Walker]

Kevin Saucier!

Yeah! Hot Sauce, as he was known back then. I remember him getting Dontrelle Willis disease in his second year with the Tigers, and never pitching again.

[Buntforahit]

Yeah! Hot Sauce, as he was known back then. I remember him getting Dontrelle Willis disease in his second year with the Tigers, and never pitching again.
I forgot about that, he was struck with the dreaded "Steve Blass" disease
and was worried he was going to hurt somebody, correct? That's sad when that happens to a young pitcher.
What's going on with Dontrelle? I always liked him.

[Captain Cold Nose]

Yeah! Hot Sauce, as he was known back then. I remember him getting Dontrelle Willis disease in his second year with the Tigers, and never pitching again.

I believe he opened a pizza parlor when the arm troubles started developing.

[ryors]

Kinda looks like sidearmer Fred Lasher, but the autograph looks like someone else -- Joe something-or-other.

There are a few things that I have done, which I'd like to do over. The first thing was that whole 'pledge of allegiance' business. The second regret was the liquidation of my card collection.

[Cool Papa B.]

I was wondering if anyone has any video footage or pictures of Paul Jata. He was called up in 1972 and played only 34 games. A co worker of mine is related to him and he's been looking for things like that. If you do please post or better yet PM me with it. Thanks.

How about a Name this (Devil) Ray thread on the Rays board? I can post a picture, but don't have an inventory of them stored somewhere that is hard to figure out by looking at the links properties...

Go for it. Several teams have similar-type threads.

I just have done google searches for the couple I have posted. Of course, the Tigers have about a century's worth of players on the Rays.

[ryors]

Since it has been almost a month.... time to get back at it.....

Let's go with a fairly easy one to ease us back to naming Tigers....

[riverfrontier]

When John Hiller signed my baseball glove, he looked more like this

[riverfrontier]

There are two former Tigers in this picture.

[Tyrus Raymond Cobb]

one of them is Dmitri Young, the other i don't know

[riverfrontier]

Correct on Dmitri Young. Here's the other Tiger during his playing days. Hint: It's not Ryan Howard.

[raysnbran]

Aurelio Rodriguez?

Is that former All Star, Jerry Morales?

[riverfrontier]

Jerry Morales it is. Good call. Your turn.

Earl Wilson?

[ryors]

Earl Wilson?

Hmmm... Earl Wilson, it is not.

Time for a couple of hints.....

#1 This Tiger hit a very respectable .287 for Manager Bob Scheffing's 100 win team.

#2 This Tiger finished up his career with the Angels after a brief stop in the National League.
