Dunedin, Fla. – Standing in front of his locker Wednesday morning, getting ready to get on the bus to Dunedin, Tigers’ outfielder Troy Stokes Jr., is first greeted by Hall-of-Famer Jack Morris. Then Kirk Gibson walks by, taps him and says, “Saw your stolen base yesterday. I got it on film. We’ll talk about it.”
A few minutes later, another Hall-of-Famer, Alan Trammell, his foot still in a cast, comes rolling by on a scooter. Stokes has seen Jim Leyland and Al Kaline roaming around and he’s been on the field with Miguel Cabrera.
