Racing with the Stars

I came across an interesting promotion from the Toledo Mud Hens. As famous ballpark races continue to take hold of this country’s pastime, a new novelty race has joined the ranks of the sausages of Milwaukee and the Presidents of Washington, D.C.
The Mud Hens have created a new nightly event: “Racing With the Stars.” [...]

On the Bright Side…

So maybe the Tigers are 0-3 at the hands of the Kansas City Royals thus far in 2008… but at least no bloodthirsty hawks are attacking the fans of Comerica Park!
13-year-old Alexa Rodriguez was attacked by a hawk while on a tour of Fenway Park, once again reaffirming that it is best for any A-Rod’s [...]

61*

Recently, I was told the movie 61* was in the DVD bargain bin.  “That’s the movie they shot in Tiger Stadium!” I reacted.  Of course, I had to get my own copy, and after watching the movie, I must say it’s a must-see for any baseball fan, casual or die hard.  The story follows New [...]

Around the Bases: Tigers Trail Tribe by 4 1/2 in Central

It has been quite awhile since I last wrote about the Tigers, and plenty of baseball has happened.  The team has showed signs of busting out of their slump, but sits 4.5 games behind Cleveland in the AL Central.  Stringing together both solid pitching and high octane offense in just one game remains to be [...]

Recent Leave of Absence

Ok, I will admit it — I have been a very bad blogger of late.  Unfortunately my network was uncooperative so I disappeared without even saying goodbye, but I was on a trip through Virginia, North Carolina, and Kentucky last week.  I apologize for my disappearance — now that I have been home for a [...]
