In 1976, Mark "The Bird" Fidrych put together a historic rookie season for the Tigers.
On his way to AL Rookie of the Year honors, he became just the second Tigers player aged 21 or younger to make the All-Star team, following Al Kaline in 1955. Kevin McGonigle joined this group by making the 2026 All-Star team, 50 years after Fidrych.
Kevin McGonigle is the first player in MLB history to record the following stats in his first 100 games played:
🔸️106 H
🔸️63 BB
🔸️20 2B
🔸️3 3B
🔸️9 HR
🔸️11 SB
🔸️172 times reaching base safely
A certified superstar in the making.

Kevin McGonigle has reached base 160 times this season.
Since the first All-Star Game in 1933, only two players aged 21 or younger have posted a higher total before the break: Mike Trout (170 in 2013) and Al Kaline (169 in 1955).

Breaking: 3x Cy Young Award winner and 2x World Series champion Justin Verlander announced he'll retire at the end of the 2026 season.
Verlander was named to the MLB All-Star game as a "Legend Pick", Commissioner Rob Manfred announced.
Tigers starters have delivered four straight outings of 5.0+ innings, while allowing no more than two hits each:
Flaherty: 5.0 IP, 2 H
Mize: 7.0 IP, 1 H
Skubal: 6.0 IP, 1 H
Melton: 6.1 IP, 2 H
This has happened only one other time in MLB history, dating back to 1900.
