This article was originally published Friday, Oct. 11, 1968 in the Free Press, the day after the Detroit Tigers won Game 7 of the World Series in St. Louis. Here's the exact reprint of what Tigers outfielder Al Kaline wrote as it appeared in the paper.
ST. LOUIS — We had our strongest arm going for us and he won it and we won it the way we have all year, but coming from behind.
Mickey Lolich's arm is the strongest on our staff. It's never sore the day after he pitches, the way it is for most pitchers, so I thought he could do a good job even though he had only two days' rest.
