MOBILE, Ala. – Ex-Detroit Tiger Frank Bolling, a two-time All-Star second baseman and the last player to hit a grand slam off Sandy Koufax, has died. He was 88.
Bolling died Saturday. He was diagnosed with cancer about five years ago, according to a notice posted by the funeral home handling the arrangements.
Bolling played 12 seasons in the majors, six with Detroit and six with the Braves, and hit .254 with 106 home runs. His Gold Glove award in 1958 was the first by a Tigers infielder. For part of that season, his double-play partner was his older brother, shortstop Milt Bolling.
