I was just reflecting with my family that we in the Detroit area have been fortunate over the years to have some real class acts be the faces of our sports franchises. I only knew of Al Kaline as a broadcaster - his playing days were before my time - but I am hard pressed to think of another market who'd have the likes of Steve Yzerman, Isaiah Thomas, Barry Sanders and Mr. Kaline; each of whom were upstanding citizens and excellent leaders and role models.
