In a rare flare of irritation Al Kaline broke a hand, then received a telegram from Harmon Killebrew and Bob Allison. Kaline, age 33, reflects on his .308 season after missing time, aiming to overtake Ty Cobb and Hank Greenberg in hits and homers as he leads Detroit toward a pennant and a World Series bid. He is respected as a top all around player with a strong arm, solid defense, and steady hitting.
