This Week In Baseball History


Feb 13, 2026

Mickey Lolich was great Tiger, whose World Series heroics were only the start of his legendary run in Detroit that unexpectedly made him one of the best pitchers in baseball. Through it, the everyman's athlete became beloved in The Motor City for the rest of his life, which ended last week. In tribute, Mike and Bill look back at Lolich's unlikely life and career path that seemed to bring him as much joy as it brought the city of Detroit, and that almost took him to the Hall of Fame.

Plus, happy birthday to Joe Black and Clete Boyer!

And farewell to Albert Hall and Bart Shirley.
