  1. i have done it, but not for maybe 16 years. it is as oblong describes. the line sometimes wraps all the way around the concourse, so it might add 45 minutes or so onto your game-day experience. back in the mid-2000s, parents could run with their kids. once i did it just so that i could run around the diamond at comerica. my most recent experience is that parents are not allowed to join, and there are like ushers out on the diamond to keep the kids moving. i don't think they're actual ushers; it might be the dte girls. i would crash into a few of them. anyway, enjoy!
  2. sunk cost. pay him or don't. the question is whether the team is better with or without him
  3. i don't know the conditions at comerica but we just had a 5-minute downpour in the fancy 'burbs. now the sun is out again
  4. i've been thinking about this thread and there are so many games i could list. i'll just offer a few that stand out to me. first, ones i was fortunate to attend June 1994 -- Lou's grand slam to win the game September 2003 -- Tigers avoid infamy by beating the twins October 2006 -- first playoff game at Comerica Park October 2006 -- Magglio's homer game October 2012 -- Miggy K's to end the world series September 2014 -- Tigers clinch the central i have a practice of going to the last home game of the year whenever possible. i've seen some cool stuff. the Tigers clinch, other teams clinch, the Tigers dither away a division on tv, game 163 from 2009, game 5 of the 2011 division series, and game 5 of the seattle series last year stand out to me.
  5. some guys will put their wedding ring on a chain when they're playing, because it is uncomfortable (and can actually lead to injury) to wear a ring inside a glove. i don't know if that is finnegan's thing but it is a possible reason for what you saw
  6. it is absolutely pouring on driveways in birmingham
  7. only if you're pitching to yourself like you're ted williams
  8. i agree on maggs being iffy. my thinking was between his home run in 2006 and the batting championship in 2007 he might qualify. gibson seems higher in the pecking order to me, as is lance parrish for being such a big part of the 1980s teams
  9. am i not seeing kaline there? he might be a good choice EDIT: is that him way in the back? i think you could reasonably have any number of others. gibson, magglio both come to mind as being big parts of tigers lore
  10. this caused me to look at the 1978 padres on baseball reference. gene tenace hit only .224 that year but had a .392 obp!
  11. dammit you guys have me googling for her and i can't find ****
