RIP Lenny Green. Green played for the Tigers from 1967-1968, batting .277 with 1 home run and 13 RBI in 64 total games as a backup outfielder. His lone Tigers home run came as a game-tying shot in the fifth inning against the KC Athletics on September 6, 1967, at Tiger Stadium, contributing to Detroit's 6-3 victory. He was released by the Tigers on July 6 of 1968, having appeared in just 6 games to that point, ending both his Tigers tenure and his 12 season major league career. Green also appeared in the majors with the Orioles, Senators, Twins, Angels, and Red Sox. He died on January 6 - his birthday - at the age of 86
