DATE SHOT: Spring 1985 SUBJECT: Alan Trammell APPROXIMATE SIZE: 35mm in standard slide mount MARKS / STAMPING: Mount is pre-printed with team name, player identification and position. TYPE CLASSIFICATION: Original Promo Slide COMMENTS / CONDITION: This is positive film that can be viewed with a backlight source without having to invert the image. As with original negatives, it can be used to produce high-quality photographic prints (no print is included with this item though). This is one of a large number of sports promo slides that I will be listing in the coming weeks. Wear on these, if any, is mostly confined to the mount's edges, but see scans for further details including film condition. We do not deal in stock images or modern reprints, and all scans shown are of the actual vintage photograph, slide or negative being sold. If you have any questions about a particular piece, please ask before the auction ends. Alan Stuart Trammell was born in 1958 in Garden Grove, CA. He played major league baseball from 1977 to 1996 as shortstop for the Detroit Tigers, appeared in the 1984 World Series, and was selected 6 times as an All-Star. He earned a total of 4 Gold Gloves and 3 Silver Slugger awards at shortstop. After his playing days ended, Trammell was the Tigers hitting coach in 1999 and the Padres first base coach from 2000 to 2002. He was the manager of the Detroit Tigers for three seasons, beginning in 2003. After the 2006 season, he was named the Chicago Cubs bench coach. He also appeared along with Whitaker in an episode of the TV show "Magnum PI" in 1984. Explanation of Type Classifications: Type 1 = A 1st generation photograph, developed from the original negative, during the period (within two years of when the shot was taken). Type 2 = A 1st generation photograph, developed from the original negative, during a later period (more than two years after the shot was taken). Type 3 = A 2nd generation photograph, developed from a duplicate negative or wire transmission, during the period. Type 4 = A 2nd generation photograph (or 3rd or later generation), developed from a duplicate negative or wire transmission, during a later period. Original = A 1st generation photograph, developed from the original negative, which appears to be of the period but for which a print date cannot be determined for definitive Type classification. Essentially, a photo we feel is a Type 1, but which lacks certain elements necessary for definitive dating of the print.
