Spirit Of Detroit
Thursday, October 19, 2006
Detroit likes to support its teams and found a very creative way to do so. It started back in '97 when the Redwings won the Stanley Cup. It was brought back out for '98 when they repeated. Both the Pistons and Shock (Woman's WNBA) have won tites and now its time for the Detroit Tigers to decorate the statue. Its a very cool tradition and and an excellent way to show support. The Tigers jersey will be on display for a couple weeks, giving everyone a chance to head downtown to take pictures. Maybe one day the statue will feature the Lions. Ok, I am getting ahead of myself but 4 our of 5 isn't bad.
On a side note, we were out to eat last nite and Justin Verlander a Tigers pitcher was at the same resturant. He was in the bar so we didn't see him but our waitress filled us in. I didn't want to go bother him, a person from the table next to us did and he looked like an idiot doing so.
