Well, Ty played for Detroit, that might settle the Detroit requirement...

Then again, Jeter's from Kazoo (shudders) was it him?

GOTTA be someone from Detroit!

Ty Cobb was mentioned earlier, and in fact was the previous holder. Kaline is the correct answer!

And there is NO way I'd use Jeter as trivia unless it was a negative question, like:

What baseball player is Serbia most likely to physically harm if he ever met him in person?

Yankee hater here.

Actually, it was Lou Gehrig, still holds it with 23 (think Thome's close, but not sure) I just can't think of a question.

OK, here's one, might have already been asked, but eh.
