Gordie Howe and Al Kaline.
Another vote for Howe, he'll of a player and didn't need a goon to protect him. 100+ mph wrist shot, and an outstanding puck handler. Hell, I was named after him and have met him several times,
Concur on Kaline, too. Class act, probably the last pro athlete to think he was paid too much.
Have to add Rusty Staub to the list. Only one of the 76 Tigers to take time out to actually talk to an 8 year old kid that asked for his autograph at spring training. Class act, but earned the nickname 'chug' for his (lack of) speed.
