I am a baseball fan in general, and a life long Detroit Tiger fan is specific. The best part about being a fan is that you get to have an opinion and share it with others even if it is uninformed and makes no sense whatsoever.

If you were living in Michigan, and old enough to remember the summer of 1976, you will never forget it.  As is often the case, the Detroit Tigers did not have a very good team that year. In fact, it would have been completely forgetable, if not for one man: Mark "The Bird" Fidrych.

So, the four of us attend that night's game. By the way, June 26th is my wife's birthday. My wife cares nothing about baseball, or any sport for that matter.
