On a special edition of Caught Listening, Christian honors the life and legacy of one of baseball's best players, and better men, Al Kaline. The Hall of Fame outfielder passed away on Monday at the age of 85 and the man who was affectionately known as "Mr. Tiger" left a lasting mark on the sport he played and the city he called home.
Joining Christian to celebrate the achievements of Kaline is Detroit Tigers MLB.com beat writer, Jason Beck (@beckjason). Beck recounts the numbers that made Kaline a legend on the field and the character that made him one off the field. With stories of how he continued to assist the organization in his 67th season with the team, to how he rarely wanted the spotlight on him, the two discuss how much Kaline meant to the community of baseball. They also try to compare his attributes to current players and analyze the advanced metrics that show just how great of a player he really was.
The two also join in another game of "Pepper" and talk about Tigers legends and one of the greatest travesties in baseball history.
