I grew up with Kaline as my favorite. My glove was an Al Kaline model, I tried to duplicate his swing, and when catching a ball in the outfield, I always remembered his tip to catch the ball in a position ready to throw. I will miss number six. Here is a photo I do not show much, quality is not that good, but it is the earliest known photo of Kaline as a professional. RIP
