Another boyhood hero to so many of us from Detroit has left us. I'll never forget his amazing '68 World Series and watching him jump into the arms of cather Bill Freehan whe they clinched the series. RIP Mickey Lolich.
We are saddened by the passing of three-time All-Star and 1968 World Series MVP Mickey Lolich.
Lolich spent 13 of his 16 Major League seasons with the Tigers, while also pitching for the Mets and Padres.
In 1968, Lolich hurled 3 complete game victories against St. Louis in the World Series to lead Detroit back from a 3-1 deficit and win the championship in seven games.
His finest season came in 1971 when he led the American League in wins (25), starts (49), complete games (29), innings pitched (376), and strikeouts (308), while finishing second in AL Cy Young voting.
Lolich won 217 career games and his 2,832 career strikeouts are 5th all-time among left-handed pitchers behind only Randy Johnson, Steve Carlton, CC Sabathia, and Clayton Kershaw.
Lolich was 85 years old.
