Detroit Tigers All-Time Team

The Bench

Just Missed the Cut: Bobby Veach ... Veach was one of the best outfielders in baseball in the 1910s, forming a stellar trio with Hall of Fame teammates Ty Cobb and Sam Crawford. Veach had a fine arm, was a solid baserunner, and hit for a good average. But his real talent was driving in runs. He plated as many as 100 runs six times, and 90 or more two other times. He was a .310 career hitter.
