Three players are elected to the Hall Of Fame this year; Warren Spahn, Roberto Clemente, and Ernie Banks. The first two were inducted on their first ballot.

The Bird may be getting closer to becoming a starter. He's in the starting rotation for much of the offseason. However, on February 5th, the Tigers aquire JR Richard through free agency, thus kicking Mark out of the rotation. He is made a starter for Spring Training though.

Here as always is a look at him on Opening Day:

One of the pitchers in the Tigers starting rotation is Woodie Fryman who's approaching the end of his career. Maybe the door is finally opening for The Bird to get into the starter role. He nonetheless starts the season as a closer.

Let's see what happens during the season!
