What’s the Tigers’ record number of strikeouts in a game?

Edit: as of 2023, it was Anibal Sanchez with 17. He did it in 8 innings. Broke Lolich’s record of 16.

So I look at Jack Flaherty sitting in the dugout and it’s the first time I’ve seen him without a cap on, and I see his hair, and I’m wondering, is he black? And sure enough, according to Wikipedia, he is biracial and identifies as black. Something I would never have guessed just seeing pictures of him in a ballcap.

I didn't know this. I guess it just shows that it really doesn't matter.

Reminds me of a story about this elderly neighbour I had who was from Hawaii but living in Canada. I asked him on Canadian election day whether he was eligible to vote. He replied, "yes, I'm bi". His wife nudged him and said "you're dual, Ed, you're dual, not bi".

Who's knows, maybe his wife is out of the loop on Ed.

I read up a bit on him when Harris signed him. I was very happy with the signing. His story is interesting. He fell out of favor with a lot of the Cardinals fan base as he was apparently outspoken in favor of the BLM movement during the height of the national unrest. 
I still think he’s got upside from here. Glad he’s a Tiger. His hero is Bob Gibson. Not a bad choice.

Very outspoken about BLM and social justice too.

I think it shows you can't tell just by looking. And you're right: it shouldn't matter. And I don't think it does here. But I did find it remarkable based on his look.

Agreed. I really had no idea. I saw him with his hat off and still didn't realize it. At least he's not....orange...<ducks>
