While I no longer live in the Detroit area, I still root for the Tigers. I'm originally from "down river" (Wyandotte) and I have fond memories of the old Tiger stadium and sitting in the front row of the upper deck - seats that actually were above the outfield.
I'm showing my age a bit, but I still remember seeing the 1968 World series team (my hero Al Kailine especially) which also included Mickey Lolich, Bill Freehan, and of course Denny McLain among many others.
Heck, I still have my "Al Kaline" signature little league bat from bat day at the old Tiger Stadium as well as several photo pennants, including one from '68.
