	Ray Oyler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Oyler made his major league debut with Detroit on April 18, 1965 and would go on to be their sometime regular, but often defensive replacement shortstop until 1968.
		Oyler was the regular Tigers shortstop in 1968, appearing in 111 games, and was arguably the best defensive shortstop in baseball at that time.
		After Oyler retired from baseball he settled in the Seattle area, managing a bowling alley in Bellevue and working for Boeing.

	Ray Oyler \| BaseballLibrary.com
		The archetypal "good-field, no-hit" player, Oyler relinquished the Detroit shortstop job to centerfielder Mickey Stanley to strengthen the Tiger offense in the 1968 World Series.
		Still, Dick McAuliffe called him "the best shortstop I ever played with." Seattle fans, feeling Oyler was the Pilot most needy of support, organized the "Ray Oyler Fan Club" in spring training.
		Oyler almost ruined it by homering to win the Pilots' first home game.

	Archived Weblog Entry - 08/23/2003: "Cooperstown Confidential; August 22, 2003; by Bruce Markusen"
		Ray Oyler (Shortstop): In the 1968 World Series, the weak-hitting Oyler lost his starting shortstop job to Mickey Stanley, a converted center fielder who figured to give the Tigers more of an offensive threat in the Series.
		After the Series, the Tigers left Oyler and his.135 batting average unprotected in the expansion draft, which paved the way for his selection by the Seattle Pilots.
		Oyler played occasionally for the Halos, then became a player-coach for their Pacific Coast League affiliate at Triple-A Salt Lake City, and then finished his career with the PCL’s Hawaii Islanders before retiring in 1973.

	The Baseball Analysts: Baseball Is More Than Superstars
		Ray Oyler and his.175 lifetime average (lowest of the live ball era for a player with a minimum of 1000 career at-bats) in 1266 ABs makes the Tigers shortstop the poster boy of the good-field, no-hit crowd.
		Oyler appeared in four of the seven World Series contests, all as a defensive replacement for Stanley.
		Oyler went to the ill-fated Seattle Pilots in the expansion draft.

	Mickey Stanley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		So with the American League pennant clinched and two weeks left in the season, Smith asked Stanley to play the last 9 games of the regular season at shortstop, the first time he had ever played the position.
		Oyler did not bat and appeared in only four games as a defensive replacement-- the four games the Tigers needed to win the series.
		Stanley returned to play 59 games at shortstop the next year, while Oyler was allowed to be drafted by the expansion Seattle Pilots.

	The Harvard Crimson :: News :: Impossible Dreamers Drop Boston Opener to Detroit
		Ray Oyler popped up, but Detroit's right-handed pitching ace Earl Wilson slashed a line drive into the right-center field alley to produce a run.
		Before the horrible inning was over, Willie Horton got a wind-blown double to center, Freehan another scratch single both off the hapless Culp--and Oyler a run-scoring single off reliever Lee Stange.
		Wilson complemented his batting efforts (two for five with an RBI and a run scored) with an adequate four hitter, spiced by eight strikeouts.

		As a LF who could not run, caould not hit and was bad with the glove i think he had less value than oyler.
		(at least bergen and oyler could play a little lae inning D.) same goes for mendoza and a number of other guys.

	Tigers-Cardinals '68 - Dugout Chatter LL
		Willie Horton, Mickey Stanley and Jim Northrup played the outfield, but Al Kaline played RF in the World Series and Stanley was moved to SS, where he had played a mere handful of games in his career.
		Ray Oyler played 111 games at SS in 1968, hitting a miniscule.135, 29 for 215, but he only made 4 late inning defensive appearances.
		I recall now that McAuliffe had a good series - amazing that a guy like Oyler that hit so poorly was still able to play most of the games

	Re: World Series - Tigers vs. Cardinals? - NazNet Community
		Ray Oyler was the SS most of the season, but he couldn\'t hit his weight (and he only weighed about.150), so in the World Series, Mickey Stanley, normally a CF, started at SS, with Oyler coming in for late inning defense.
		The best hitter on the team, statistically speaking, was a no-neck pinch-hitter named Gates Brown, who hit about.400 that year.
		They lost a close Game 5, then got blasted in Game 6 (Ray Washburn was awful).
