Of course! (TIGER POWER!)

And, Carol!

No Braves, so I guess I go with Detroit.

Didn't see Detroit play so I have no idea how their games went. I only saw San Francisco play since Mel's boyfriend watched it, and it was the last game.

Carol, your cousins are SOOOOOO cute!!!


And come to think of it, it's been awhile since I've seen a good fifing. Glad it was you and not me!

Thanks Amy

Well the truth is that I don't follow baseball... I'm only going for SF Giants because they are from California lol, but I like the Tigers mascot better

So, I heard today was Game ONE of the series, what does that mean?? So this is not the final then? How does this work??

-Confused lol

They play a best-of-seven series, Carol. The champs are the first team to win four games.

Wow.. that is quite long

The Tigers have had some interesting logos over the years. This is from the 1920s. Really!



Doesn't that strike fear in your heart?

I think the theory was that the opposing batters would be laughing so hard they couldn't hit.

*wipes tears from eyes* Best. Theory. Ever.

Good man. I like the Braves too though, Alex. John Smoltz graduated a couple of years before me and went to my school so it was cool to follow his career. (He pitched for the Braves). It was devastating for him when he was traded from the Tigers (which was his dream obviously), but it all worked out.

I was thinking the same thing!

I agree, the BEST! To think, there were people who actually sat around a desk and agreed to approve this logo. (At least, I think that's how it was done back then?? Maybe not. ).

I HAVE DIED!

If I played ball, I would not even have been able to get up from the bench.. I'd probably be on the ground in the fetal position from laughing so hard LOL

With Fans Like These, How Can San Francisco Lose?

Thanks. Right??

The Tigers played their first game as a major league team at home against the Milwaukee Brewers on April 25, 1901, with 10,000 fans at Bennett Park. After entering the ninth inning behind 13–4, the team staged a dramatic comeback to win 14–13. The team finished third in the eight-team league. Their pitching coach, Isaiah Edwards, was responsible for the notorious Snake Ball that wreaked havoc among batters for years. Since then, it has never been duplicated.

Cool! I bet Isaiah threw that Snake Ball so well that ol' Dan Tucker just stood there lookin'.

And let me add...

That would look cooler with this guy chasing him...
