A native Detroiter and lifelong Tigers fan, Mike’s first Tigers game was in 1977 when rookie Jack Morris pitched against the Milwaukee Brewers at Tiger Stadium. The Tigers won the game — barely.Rightfielder Mickey Stanley’s over-the-wall catch with two out in the top of the ninth preserved the victory. And thus Mike was hooked. Since then he’s been lucky enough to attend a bevy of memorable games at Tiger Stadium

Tuesday Tananas: Fred Lynn, Ted Power and Don Draper
