After defeating the New York Yankees on Thursday, the Tigers advance to the American League Championship Series and are one step closer to the World Series.
The Detroit Tigers took a bite out of the Big Apple, and now they are moving on—deep into the heart of Texas, in fact—in the Major League Baseball playoffs. After disposing of the New York Yankees in the American League Division Series on Thursday, the Tigers will take on the Texas Rangers in the American League Championship Series. If the Tigers can defeat the Rangers, they will advance to the World Series. Everyone seems to have Tigers fever. Fireworks could be heard in Grosse Pointe Woods after the Tigers' Jose Valverde struck out Yankees star Alex Rodriguez to end the game. On Grosse Pointe Patch’s Facebook page, Meghan Allen exclaimed, “Bless You Boys!” "OH YAY...ROCK ON DETROIT!" wrote Deborah McConnell on Hartland Patch's Facebook, …

As postseason gets under way for Detroit team, memories take center stage.
It’s just plain different. Period. Baseball is sacred to Americans. It’s our game, it’s marked the passage of time for more than a century, and it, unlike any other game, unifies us all. Our grandfathers talked of the game’s greats of their era, as did our fathers to us, as we do to our kids, and as they will to theirs—each generation comparing statistics, impact and status of their favorite players and teams. DiMaggio and Williams, Mantle and Mays, Ryan and Clemens, Pujols and Jeter — each name highlighting endless conversations between generations of baseball fans. Who is better? Where do they fit in list of all-time greats? What if Williams played today, or Pujols played then? Baseball is a common thread woven through the tapestry of …

This Father's Day, I'll think of my dad as brightly as the day he left for his 10-year road trip with the angels.
My dad has pitched for the angels for 10 years. The games aren’t televised in Detroit and they can’t be found on MLB.com. Team jerseys are currently unavailable, we’re not in the same time zone and I’ve yet to see his team featured on SportsCenter. And although we can’t get mobile updates on our phones, I can imagine he’s pitching out of his mind. He’s dazzling batters one after the next with his floating knuckleballs and intermittent fastballs, “just to keep them on their toes,” he’d say. And as they walked back to the dugout scratching their heads he would watch them, daring them to look back so they could see him smile. He’s on a long road trip now and I miss him. And no, he’s not in Anaheim. My dad plays for the …
