Jim Northrup, 1939 - 2011
Andrew Norton
1968 World Series Game 7 hero, Jim Northrup, of the Detroit Tigers passed away this week. His playing days were over just before I was born, but as a lifelong Tigers fan I was as familiar with Jim Northrup as I was with the heroes of my childhood - Trammell, Gibson, and Whitaker. Here are a few videos featuring Jim Northrup - Detroit Tigers great and all around good guy.
