The 1965 Tigers finished 89 and 73, good for fourth in the American League. Al Kaline led the offense with a .281 average and strong all around play. Norm Cash added power with 30 home runs. Willie Horton broke out with 29 homers. Denny McLain emerged on the mound with a 16 and 6 record. The season showed the core that would contend for the 1968 championship.
Offered is a gorgeous (like right out of the box) Official American League (Joe Cronin) baseball with 31 signatures that we’d rate a 9 out of 10. Doesn’t get any nicer than this one!
