Wayne, I personally am not a big baseball fan, but in this part of the country, there are alot of folks who have followed the Tigers all their lives.
My grandfather has watched and listened to them play since he was a young man. At every summer family event that I can remember back to (about 35 yrs), grandpa ALWAYS had the Tigers game on in the background on the radio.
He had a stroke a few years back and he is in pretty bad shape now. A few weeks back my younger cousins from Florida decided we needed to take him to a game. I am so happy we did (even though the logistics of it made it somewhat difficult). All evening he kept mumbling about how his distant cousin's kid is married to one of Leyland's kids. This night was the highlight of his year and as stupid as it sounds, he will die a happy man knowing that his Tigers were back in the world series again just like the old days.
For that reason alone, I say GO TIGERS!
