ABOUT ME
I was born in Detroit, Michigan, and raised in a suburb of Detroit. When you grow up here, you are born a Detroit Tiger’s fan. My grandparents lived a few blocks away from Tiger Stadium. Many times (as a child) I would play around the stadium, and of course I went to my share of games. My grandfather owned a parking lot which he used to park cars for people attending baseball games. I helped out as often as I could, watching him talk to fans and maintaining a keen eye on the cars.
Detroit Tiger’s baseball is in my blood.
ABOUT THIS BLOG
Baseball is a game of statistics. The game lives and thrives on them. Everyday statistics are used to provide a glimpse of a players performance, and ultimately their worth. Without a doubt, they are important to this game.
I enjoy reading articles and blogs that employ statistics to emphasize a point, or to predict the outcome of a particular series.
Although I will employ statistics in my posts, please don’t expect them to play a major role in what I have to say.
Like statistics, emotions are a part of the game of baseball.
It is impossible to strip away the thrill we experience when our team wins a close game. Or, the anger we feel toward a manager when a pitcher has been left in a game for one batter too many.
We revel in the feel-good stories of baseball, like when our team comes from a seven run deficit to win a game in extra innings. Also, we need to vent our frustration when a player botches a play that turns the tide in an important game.
Baseball is a game of statistics and predictions. It is a game of joy and pain. In baseball, you will find inspiration, and sometimes sadness, too.
What I will give you in these posts will be all of the above. You will get updated information about the Detroit Tigers, and stories about the team, and players, too.
I am not going to be excessively analytical, nor only mildly informative. I am going to reach for something in between, and in between your reading of other blogs and newspaper articles, I hope you find something here that you will like.
