Respect Our Home: The Do’s and Don’ts Of Tigers Opening Day

The term “Opening Day” doesn’t mean much (or often anything) to most cities in this country. Even among metropolises with major league baseball teams, only hotbeds like St. Louis, Boston, and Chicago rival Detroit in terms of fervor and pageantry when it comes to the first day of home baseball. Truly a local holiday in every sense of the word, it really must be experienced to be appreciated. In fact almost all of the enjoyment and revelry of the day can be had without actually going to the gam...

Detroit TigersJustin VerlanderNo Hitter

WATCH: "I Gotta Say Thank You To The Fans" Says Verlander

Having a no-hitter slip out of your grasp when you’re only three outs away is disappointing, but Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander showed his class following an amazing outing Wednesday night. The no-hitter was broken when Chris Iannetta hit a double down the left field line that stayed just fair. Verlander, although he does not have the velocity he did in earlier years, seems to have figured out the old adage that roughly goes “old age and treachery will overcome youth and skill.” He’s refined...

Legendary Tiger Kirk Gibson Has Parkinson's Disease

Today Tigertown received sad news. Legendary Tiger (see above for his 1984 series-winning home run video) Kirk Gibson has announced that he has Parkinson’s disease. He does color commentary with the Tigers for their TV broadcasts, but hasn’t been in the booth for Fox Sports Detroit since Opening Day. Parkinson’s disease is one that takes a toll over time. It is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects movement. It develops gradually, and although tremors are the most well-kn...

Verlander Delivers An Epic Surprise To Young Fan Wearing His Jersey

Love having my fans support!! This little guy was pretty surprised when he turned around. A photo posted by Justin Verlander (@justinverlander) on Mar 27, 2015 at 6:53am PDT Sometimes, there are magic moments, and this sure looks like one of them. Detroit Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander was in a local Starbucks when he noticed a young fan wearing a shirsey (shirt with jersey lettering) that said “Verlander” on the back – and this might be one of the epic selfies of Detroit spor...

Relief Pitching Will Be Key To Detroit's Playoff Run

The starting pitchers for the Detroit’s first playoff matchup in their hunt for the World Series championship hold the last three Cy Young award winners. In theory, that sounds like the Tigers have a pretty good shot at taking the upcoming series over the Baltimore Orioles. But there are a few snags in that assumption. One of the potential trouble spots is if a game gets close. The Orioles have a strong relief crew, but Detroit has had uneven results with closers Joe Nathan and Joba Chamb...
