My Take
Alan Trammell embodies a kind of loyalty that has nearly vanished from modern sport. Twenty seasons, one franchise, the Detroit Tigers shortstop who became a Gold Glove fixture and, eventually, a Hall of Famer. In an era of constant movement, his lifelong bond with one city and its fans strikes me as deeply admirable. He stayed on as coach, manager, and front-office advisor, never really leaving. I value that constancy over headline-grabbing transfers any day. To me, Trammell reads like the conscience of baseball, proof that devotion to a place and a team can be its own form of greatness.
