Inspired by a humble gesture of an unnamed High School baseball player, who recognized that his acceptance of a college baseball offer was in no small part due to the play of his catcher, I reflect on this stellar example of humility and also (finally) after more than 100 episodes of All About Baseball, offer a treatment of whom I consider to be the most humble player in MLB history. He also happens to be one of the best, who’s significant life events as related to baseball are curiously connected to the Detroit Tigers.
