Special to Detroit Free Press

How we remember him
Fryman was chosen 30th overall in 1987 in compensation for the loss of free agent catcher Lance Parrish to the Phillies. After 2½ seasons in the minors the 21-year-old shortstop was promoted to Detroit on July 7, 1990. The next day, manager Sparky Anderson moved him to third base, a position he had never played.
