Al Kaline

A longtime television commentator, Kaline has also parlayed his playing experience into other fields. He served as an instructor in Tigers spring-training camps and was a board member of the organization. In 2001, Kaline was named by owner Mike Ilitch to a special board established to improve the status of the struggling franchise. The 2002 season marked Kaline's fiftieth year as an employee of the Detroit Tigers. At the same time, Kaline found a new outlet for his competitive instincts. An avid golfer, he splits his time between courses in suburban Detroit and Lakeland, Florida. "This is my game now, and I love it," he told Florida Golf Monthly. "I love to play in competition. I get nervous, but it feels good to get nervous again, and I can handle it."
