Former Tigers greats will be at Capitol today

Former Detroit Tigers greats from the 1968 World Championship team will be honored at the Capitol at 12:30 p.m. today.

Members of the 1968 team, including Al Kaline, Willie Horton, Denny McLain and Jim Northrup, will give remarks in the Capitol rotunda prior to being honored on the House floor at 1:15 p.m.

Legendary Tigers broadcaster Ernie Harwell also will be in attendance.

The event is in celebration of the 35th anniversary of Detroit's '68 pennant. The House also will consider declaring Oct. 28, 2003, as "Willie Horton Day," in recognition of his community service.
