About Alan Trammell, Hall of Famer

Alan Trammell was a shortstop who spent his entire 20-year playing career with the Detroit Tigers. A nine-time All-Star and one of the best-hitting shortstops of his era, Trammell won three Silver Slugger awards and four Gold Glove awards despite lacking an overpowering arm—his quick release and accuracy made him exceptional at his position. He formed baseball's longest continuous double-play combination with Lou Whitaker, playing together for 19 seasons. Trammell's career highlight came in 1984 when he led the Tigers to a World Series championship, earning Series MVP honors. He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2018 by the Modern Baseball Committee.

Did you know? Trammell and Lou Whitaker made a cameo appearance on the television show Magnum, P.I. during the 1983 season, when the show's star Tom Selleck's character was a Tigers fan.
