Although it is too-bad that the Tigers weren't able to win the World Series, this year will be remembered as the season when baseball made its return to a classic baseball town. For many of us, the 1984 season seems like ancient history. I was 6 years old at the time, so I really have no memories of that year. Growing up, I always wondered what it would be like to see the Tigers in the playoffs. Most of the time, however, the Tigers were just plain awful.....and if I was lucky, just mediocre. Yet, I enjoyed going to ball games, even when they were bad. There really is something about just going down to the ballpark on a warm summer evening, having a hot-dog, and watching the Tigers. So cheers to the 2006 Detroit Tigers for bringing baseball back to the city of Detroit!
BTW: Even though the Tigers lost on Friday, and my MSU Spartans embarrassed themselves again, the weekend hasn't been a total wash........the Lions aren't playing!
