Tigers stunned as Dresen suffers minor heart attack
In Lakeland Florida the Detroit Tigers learned manager Charlie Dresen had a minor coronary occlusion and would be out at least nine weeks. Vice president Jim Campbell delivered the news as players, relaxed after spring workouts, faced the shock and uncertainty.

Each Christmas he sends every friend a personal card, a three week task he insists on doing.
