The Tigers' relief ace, who won both the AL MVP and AL Cy Young awards for his stellar 1984 season, died of a cardiac arrest.

Hernandez had apparently been suffering from cardiac issues for many years.

Fascinating.

While I loved his work during the '84 season, the best thing he ever did was dump water over the head of that dipshit Mitch Albom.

In later years, I think he was called Guillermo, not Willie. Regardless of the name, a great closer for the Tigers.

In the news reports, they kept showing the last out of the 1984 World Series over and over. Larry Herndon flagging down Tony Gwynn's fly ball, Darrell Evans leading the charge out of the dugout...

For the Tiger fans who came of age during the Verlander/Cabrera era, it has to hurt that they never got a moment like that.
