Baseball

As I type this, the baseball playoffs are starting in minutes and the White Sox are playing the Houston Astros in Game 1 of the ALDS. If you haven't lived anywhere but here, you may have trouble understanding this, because if you're from Michigan, everybody here is pretty much all in. U of M fans don't really hate MSU fans. It's more like a big brother, little brother relationship, and besides, we all hate Ohio State. When the Red Wings win, or the Pistons, pretty much everybody is cheering. If, and I know it feels like I'm taking fiction and fairy tales, but if the Lions ever win, it'll be like the Cubs, and the whole darned country will be pulling for them.

Chicago White Sox Hall of Famer Frank Thomas and investors are buying the "Field of Dreams" complex in Dyersburg, Iowa.

It seems like forever ago, but the day has finally arrived. Kalamazoo's Derek Jeter is being inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame today.

The vendors make the ball games, but due to COVID, they have eliminated all vendors cruising the stands for right now.

The Michigan vs. Ohio rivalry just got a lot bigger this weekend.

No sports celebrates its past like baseball. And even then, there are historical topics that many people, especially younger fans, don't know, because these stories have slipped through the cracks or simply have been forgotten.

The Kalamazoo Growlers wanted to end the month with the announcement that for one game, they'll be changing their name to the Kalamazoo Lassies, on Friday, July 6th at Homer Stryker Field.

Through all the hardships, Brian Colopy , one of the managers for the Growlers, is saying that there's a lot to be thankful about and is excited for the upcoming season, the only unfortunate thing for fans is, they may have a hard time finding a ticket to this seasons' games.

Jim Abbott is an inspiration to everyone.

For an entire generation and more, there wasn't a classier, more dignified, icon of what it meant to be a Detroit Tiger than Al Kaline. For 22 years on the field, and twice that off it as a broadcaster, executive and ambassador for the team, Kaline was synonymous with the Detroit Tigers. The Detroit Free-Press published the news that Kaline had died Monday afternoon after confirming it with friend of the family. He was 85.
