You can take the girl out of Detroit but you can't take Detroit out the girl!

    The last time I was this fired up about the Tigers it was at Tiger Stadium not Comerica Park.  I
    was graduating from high school - it was the '60's.  My father held business boxes because of the
    company he worked for - Budd Wheel (hubs and drums).  I had spent part of the previous year 
    before the new school year sitting at the stadium with him watching games.  I knew all of these
    names very well:

    Mckey Lolich (pitcher) and Bill Freehan (catcher) - along with Jim Northrup, Mickey Stanley, Al 
    Kaline, and my favorite Willie Horton.

    I feel the fever coming - - - -Let it be SO.   GO TIGERS GO!
