July 9, 2012 The Detroit Tigers had a disappointing first half of the season. They played below expectations, but head into the All-Star break on a five-game winning streak. A nice finish before getting a few days off.
Now, more good news for Tigers fans. Justin Verlander will start the All-Star game for the American League on Tuesday night.
Baseball's all star game is tonite. Five Detroit Tigers have been named to the team. Are you going to watch? I'll see a little here and there. The only all star game that means anything to me is the one played at Tiger Stadium way back when... I remember sprawling on the floor with my friends -- watching what became a real home run derby --watching Reggie hit that monster shot over the right field roof. I knew all the players, their uniform numbers, positions and teammates. Not just the Tigers, but all the teams. Now, I only keep up with the Tigers. Do you have a favorite baseball team?
