Trammell, nicknamed "Tram", played his entire career with the Tigers, highlighted by a World Series championship in 1984 and an American League East division championship in 1987.

Trammell's defense perfectly complemented his double-play partner, Lou...
ball good three
That's two out of three that he's done a good job. He has to keep the ball down. When he does that, he's much more effective. He's not overpowering.
angels ballpark category credit everybody thinking
I think everybody in the ballpark was thinking 'could it happen?' ... but there's no category for almost. I give the Angels credit for being opportunistic.
ball believe mentioned poor seems throw
He (Rodriguez) even mentioned it. He can't believe it. From our view, it's a little low, but you could see the ball got away from the shortstop, it was a poor throw and he was safe. When you're going bad, nothing seems to be going right. It just doesn't look good.
ball breaking hit needed run swung third
First and third with one out, we needed to put that ball in play and we didn't. Not being able to get that hit and run down there kills us. He got the breaking ball, then he swung through it.
ball breaking starts
For a right-handed hitter, he starts that breaking ball right at you, which a lot of times freezes you.
ball brought furthest hits home might player run since six weeks
We've said it before, when Carlos Pena hits a home run -- wow! That might be the furthest ball ever hit in this ballpark. He's been a different player since we brought him up six weeks ago. He's a better player.
ball guys percent running
To Brandon's credit, he was running hard. You often see guys going 60 percent on a ball like that, and they don't score.
ballplayer bit call detroit exactly good tigers
This is exactly what the Detroit Tigers need. He's what I call a good ballplayer who does a little bit of everything.
ball contact good guy hit home last runs
This guy is a good contact hitter. He can put the ball in play. He hit 17 home runs last year. He's a good hitter, and he's a good infielder.
ball believe poor seems throw
He can't believe it. From our view, it's a little low, but you could see the ball got away from the shortstop, it was a poor throw and he was safe. When you're going bad, nothing seems to be going right. It just doesn't look good.
ball gets jump position seem
He doesn't seem to panic. He gets a jump on the ball and then is in the right position to make his leap.
ball huge settled
Not too shabby. Getting out of that first inning was huge for him, because you could see he was nervous, but he got that big double-play ball and then he settled in.
What's there not to like about this guy?
behind fell jeremy sharp stop track
We got pounded tonight, no question. Jeremy (Bonderman) was not sharp and fell behind hitters. It just wasn't his night. They got back on track and we just couldn't stop them.
