Continuing the Caesars tradition of former Detroit Tigers turning to play professional softball, the Auto Kings featured former Detroit Tigers outfielder Mickey Stanley.
A team called the Detroit Auto Kings was formed, played at Memorial Field with several Caesar stars, along with former Detroit Tiger Mickey Stanley, finishing second in the NASL, losing again to the Milwaukee Schlitz in the World Series.
After retiring from baseball, Stanley signed with the Detroit Auto Kings, a professional softball team and played a part-time role in their only season (1980).
