Ex-SIU-E star Champ Summers finds happiness with Tigers
Champ Summers, veteran outfielder now with Detroit, secured a three year guaranteed deal at age 32. He says platooning with left handed starters suits him as he aims to extend his career beyond five years with the designated hitter rule. Summers reflects on late start at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville and confidence gained in 1978 as he eyes continued production after 20 homers and 20 RBIs so far this season.
