LOLICH FOUND DURABILITY, DOMINANCE
Baseball America
|May / June 2026
Mickey Lolich was a lefthander with an excellent curveball and exceptional durability.
From age 23 to age 35, he made at least 30 starts in every season. As durable as he was, he also had plenty of highlights that stick with Tigers fans more than a half century later. He will always be remembered for 1968 and 1971.
