A productive Tigers offseason sets the tone for a promising 2024 - ...

DETROIT — Scott Harris refers to the day often. It was Sept. 20, 2022, the day he was introduced as the new president of baseball operations.

Gary Sheffield, one of baseball’s great offensive forces, is still ...

However you perceive Gary Sheffield — icon or problem child, steroid user or public-opinion victim — one image almost certainly springs to mind. It’s that waggling bat, the pulsating motion that for 22 seasons radiated so much swagger. Through eight teams, nine All-Star nods, steroid allegations and a list of other microcontroversies too long to count, Sheffield’s signature stance served as an active reminder of just who his opponents — and everyone else — were dealing with.
