There are only six members of the 1968 Detroit Tigers team still alive.

Mickey Stanley
Willie Horton
Denny McLain
John Hiller
Dick Tracewski
Jon Warden

For some reason, Denny McLain is somewhat of a surprise. He's led a rather "colorful" (for lack of a better term) life.

Heart attack victim as a young man. That was big news back in the day. Glad to see he’s still here.

I don't think I ever knew that. If I did, I'd forgotten it. I'm glad to hear he's had such a long life after suffering a heart attack while he was young.
