Alan Trammell saw his No. 3 retired by the Tigers on Sunday at Comerica Park. Afterward, he met with the media. Tony Paul, The Detroit News
Detroit – There were two phone calls, not far apart, back in early December.
The first was to inform Alan Trammell he had been elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame. The other was from Christopher Ilitch, who, after offering a hearty congratulations, told Trammell the Tigers would be retiring his No. 3.
In the nine months since, it's been one heck of a wild – and, quite frankly, uncomfortable – ride for the Tigers' legendary shortstop, who's never been a big fan of talking about himself.
