Charlie Gehringer and Hank Greenberg have their numbers retired at Tiger Stadium, June 12, 1983.

Is there a picture of Tiger Great number 42 having his number retired?

Was Suga Cain on hand to offer a testimonial for Charlie?

Suga was indeed on hand but was not allowed to speak because Jim Campbell and John Fetzer would not allow Suga to call him Chuck. He also was not allowed to throw a ceremonial pitch to Chuck because of fear that Chuck may have broken a hip trying to dive out of the way.
