Come on, Gov. Whitmer: Let more Detroit Tigers fans into Comerica Park. I just don't understand why movie theaters and bowling alleys are at 50% capacity but only 1,000 Tigers fans can go watch a game... outdoors. via

My mom died today at 90. Spent more than a year in Hospice but amazingly made it to my daughter’s wedding a few months ago. (My parents were married 69 years) Cherish every moment. And a word here about Hospice workers: thank you! True angels on Earth.
Dillon Dingler, the Tigers second round 2020 pick, hits his first homer in Tigers system. Outstanding catcher prospect.

Tigers will hold an intrasquad scrimmage in Joker Marchant Stadium Thursday starting at 10:30 a.m. Gates open at 10. Fans are allowed, no tickets required. No concessions. It's the team's top prospects, not MLB guys.

This kid started out as a dancer (had Julliard tryout), blew out her foot twice, had 2 surgeries, switched to Wayne State and just graduated with a 3.93 GPA. Oh, and she’ll compete for Miss Michigan in August (yeah, genetics can be funny) Congrats

From bagpipes to a coach in a kilt, why Alma College football is so much fun. But Jason Couch represents something bigger: why more high school coaches should get a shot to coach in college.

Miggy 500 chase plus better baseball = cool vibe. Tigers expecting biggest crowd of season tonight. (But not sold out if you want to catch a home run ball).
