I have loved the Detroit Tigers since they won the World Series in 1968 when as my mother says that I and my cousin Angela jumped up and down on our front porch when the won the Series yelling Daddy's "beseball" team won. The love for the Tigers comes honest for me. My Father loves them, his Father loved them and his Father in Law,my Great Grandfather, "Papa" and his son Charlie Sadler loved them too. It didn't even matter that the Tigers were the second to last team in the majors to have a Black player. They just loved the Tigers. For me a Summer evening sitting and listening to a baseball game on the radio is just the best way to relax and enjoy summer. Even when the Tigs were horrible sometimes I just had to turn on the radio and listen to Ernie Harwell and I would know that all was right with the world. My Daddy has always teased me and asked me this question. Are you a Tiger fan or a Tiger fool? And I have to say that after 39 years of Tiger love I guess I have to say that I am a Tiger Fool!!!

Great photo, another Michigander here, used to go the games when I was a kid, way back at the original Tiger Stadium.
Like the perspective on the sign. Hope to see some of the field later. I love looking at the way they cut the grass on the baseball fields!
