First time I've been back online since the game but have to jump in the thread to say WTG Tigers!
Hard to say anyone "knows" that a big play is coming, but you could almost feel it building to that that walk off home run...or maybe I was just so willful I refused to accept he wouldn' do it. Either way, Tigers are on the way to the World Series!!!
My 6 sons, living on 3 continents, 4 countries, across 12 time zones, Tiger fans 4Ever! Jerry wore his "Olde English D" cap and T-shirt to games at Yankee Stadium throughout the regular season.
The turning point for this season for the Tigers happened during the first week of the season.
One of the veterans showed up Jim Leyland on the field during a game that the tigers lost.
Leyland got up in the player's face IN FRONT OF THE ENTIRE TEAM and said "We are not gonna have that on this team. We are gonna stick together or you will not be on this team."
The rest of the players, from that moment, realized what kind of regime was in charge and what kind of winning atmosphere was going to be nurtuted in Motown.
Theyy have been a solid unit ever since.
Go Tigers!
Are Mickey Lolich, Al Kaline and Denny McLain still playing??
