This is the earliest known photo of Kaline as a professional. Date on front is 22 June 1953 and press stamp on back is dated 23 June 1953. This was taken the day he signed with the Tigers while he was still in his sandlot uniform. He was my favorite ballplayer. He will be missed.

My only Kaline. From my childhood. Obviously not one of his most cherished cards, but I'm sure glad I kept it!! R.I.P., Captain.

That's a beautiful '54. The margins are very straight and crisp.

Thanks Phil - I got it raw and knew about a small surface wrinkle on the bottom. Definitely the nicest looking "5" in my collection.

Default Kaline

Before he wore # 6 , Al wore # 25 for a short time in 1953 after reporting to the Tigers from his High School. I like this photo, but I don't own it !
