DETROIT -- The reaction from Alan Trammell when talking about what he'll feel when his No. 3 is put on the wall at Comerica Park on Sunday afternoon says a lot about why Trammell is so beloved around the Tigers, not to mention Detroit.
"I almost feel somewhat embarrassed," he said Friday. "But you know what, I'm very proud, no question."
Trammell isn't used to all this attention. He's more in his element spending his summer on the infield in relative quiet, teaching young infielders on the back fields at Tigertown in Lakeland, Fla.
