This is the first beer I ever drank. Out of a can exactly like this and probably in 1959. I was watching a baseball game with my dad and I was given a half of a little metal orange juice tumbler of Strohs. And it tasted really good. The funny thing is is that I’ve never been a drinker. So I was not corrupted by this.

It was Goebel's long necks at our house. The VFW hall had 2 bars, one with a keg room and one that served from bottles and Goebel supplied both the kegs and the cases of long necks, so the members piggy backed their orders on the Post's.

Yeah, pretty sure my first beer was a Goebel. My Mom would pour me a small glass as payment for fetching her a beer. Unlike Bert, I was totally corrupted.

No it was more like this $109 eBay special only not tapered. The gold one. Maybe 4” tall.  It’s a treasured memory. I asked for more and mom said if I did I couldn’t go outside to play with beer on my breath. I had another.

Those standings are a thing of beauty. It’s just amazing that after that disappointing three game skid we’ve gone 10–3. The only teams in baseball that have outscored us are the Yankees, the Cubs, AZ, and the Giants. And the Rays destroyed the Red Sox in Tampa tonight 16–1 and Bregman went 0–4.

and tomorrow we can roll out Flaherty. This is kinda fun - Not quite Verlander/Scherzer territory but maybe as good as anything since then.

Verlander/Scherzer/Sanchez/Porcello/ Fister

Skubal/Flaherty/Olson/Jobe/Mize

I know I am forgetting several. Of these rotations I think the current squad has potential to equal any of them. But a lot can happen, so fingers crossed

Verlander/Scherzer is an all time 1-2 punch in baseball history,  not just in Tigers history. Doubtful we’ll see that again.
