Originally aired on Saturday, April 26, 1986, this promo along with others featuring Tigers stars, ran several times during the course of the baseball season. WDIV is the NBC affiliate in Detroit and carried Tiger baseball throughout the decade.
George Kell provides the play-by-play voice over. This Lemon catch actually occurred during 1983 at a game in Anaheim.
Classy!

Chet Lemon robbed Rod Carew of a game winning two run homer, played on Sunday, July 24, 1983 at the Big "A" in Anaheim. I remember this game like it was yesterday. Lance Parrish had put the Tigers ahead with a lead homerun in the top of the 12th. Thanks for posting this, I wish I had a copy of that game. 1983 was a fun year to watch the Tigers.

Hilarious. I was a wee pre-schooler in these days, but remember all these guys fondly.
