Mike Brumley – IF #12
Former Tigers infielder Mike Brumley died this weekend at age 61. He was only in Detroit for one season, the abysmal 1989 campaign.
The Tigers picked him up on March 23, 1989 from the Padres for Luis Salazar.
Brumley appeared in 92 games for the Tigers, playing second, short and third, along with center and left field, and batted .198.
On Jan. 10, 1990, the Tigers traded him to the Orioles for Larry Sheets. The O’s released him at the end of Spring Training and Brumley latched onto the Mariners for that season.
Birthdays
David Pauley, Matt Kinzer – who pitched for 1990 Tigers AND punted for ’87 Lions – and the late Claude Rossman
