Guillermo “Willie” Hernández was a relief pitcher and part of the 1984 World Series Detroit Tigers Championship, played with the Detroit Tigers from 1984 – 1989. Below are statements from the Detroit Tigers, Alan Trammell and Bárbaro Garbey

Detroit Tigers Statements:

“The Tigers are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Guillermo “Willie” Hernández. A 13-year Major League veteran, including his final six seasons wearing the Olde English ‘D’, Guillermo was a key member of the Tigers’ 1984 World Series championship team, earning Most Valuable Player honors and the American League Cy Young Award that season. He was also selected to three American League All-Star teams during his six seasons in Detroit. Our thoughts are with the Hernández family, his friends and teammates.”

Statement from Alan Trammell, Special Assistant to the President of Operations for the Detroit Tigers:

“Willie Hernández was a great teammate and I am very sorry to hear the news of his death. I will never forget our team’s celebration on the mound after he recorded the final out of the 1984 World Series. He will always be remembered as a World Series champion. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.”

Statements from Bárbaro Garbey, former player and commentator in Spanish for the Detroit Tigers:

“Guillermo was a brother to me, he was the one with whom I got along the most in my days with the Tigers, so much so that my family was always very close to his after having played together. It is a great loss for the baseball family, he was the partner that everyone always wanted to have. I feel lucky to have been able to count on his advice and support. I send my most sincere condolences to his family, I keep them in my thoughts and I ask God to have him in glory.”

14 de noviembre de 1954 - 20 de noviembre de 2023 (69 años), de Aguada, Puerto Rico

Guillermo “Willie” Hernández fue lanzador de relevo y parte del Campeonato de la Serie Mundial de los Tigres de Detroit de 1984, jugó con los Tigres de Detroit de 1984 – 1989. A continuación declaraciones de los Tigres de Detroit, Alan Trammell y Bárbaro Garbey.

Declaraciones de Tigres de Detroit:

“Los Tigres están profundamente entristecidos al enterarse del fallecimiento de Guillermo “Willie” Hernández. Guillermo, un veterano de 13 años en las Grandes Ligas, incluidas sus últimas seis temporadas vistiendo la Olde English ‘D’, fue un miembro clave del equipo campeón de la Serie Mundial de los Tigres de 1984, ganando los honores de Jugador Más Valioso y el premio Cy Young de la Liga Americana esa temporada. También fue seleccionado para tres equipos “Todos Estrellas” de la Liga Americana durante sus seis temporadas en Detroit. Nuestros pensamientos están con la familia Hernández, sus amigos y compañeros de equipo”.

Declaraciones de Alan Trammell, Asistente especial al Presidente de Operaciones de los Tigres de Detroit:

“´Willie´ Hernández fue un gran compañero de equipo y lamento muchísimo saber la noticia de su fallecimiento. Nunca olvidaré la celebración de nuestro equipo en el montículo después de que lograra el out final de la Serie Mundial de 1984. Siempre será recordado como un campeón de la Serie Mundial. Mis pensamientos y oraciones están con su familia”.

Declaraciones de Bárbaro Garbey, exjugador y Comentarista en español de los Tigres de Detroit:

“Guillermo fue un hermano para mí, fue con quien más me compenetré en mis días con los Tigres, tanto así que mi familia siempre fue muy cercana a la suya después de haber jugado juntos. Es una gran pérdida para la familia beisbolera, él fue el compañero que todo el mundo siempre quiso tener. Me siento afortunado de haber podido contar con sus consejos y su apoyo. Le envío mi más sincero pésame a sus familiares, los tengo presentes en mis pensamientos y le pido a Dios que lo tenga en la gloria”.
