cabiness42 Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 I'll be there tonight! Hope Q does well and we win. Never been to Comerica, but I'd like to share my memories of my late father's one and only trip to Tiger Stadium on July 21, 1997: We were sitting in the lower deck in LF, and this was the conversation just before first pitch: DAD: I wonder if Frank Thomas will hit one to us in the first inning ME: No, the upper deck hangs out too far over the lower deck. It will land above us Five minutes later, literally directly above our heads **CLANK** DAD: Oh, I see what you mean Other memories from this game: Only time I've ever witnessed 4 K's in an inning (thank you Wild Wilson). Also, the only other people in our section were two guys who must have had made at least $1K in bets on games every day. One of them had $100 on Alvarez tossing a CG SO at 25:1, and blew a gasket when he got yanked after giving up a 1-out single in the 8th with a 3-0 lead.

cabiness42 Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 Serves him right, those are terrible odds. Well, the Tigers got shut out 1 of every 12.5 games that season and Alvarez was definitely an above average pitcher at the time so those probably weren't terrible odds.

I hadn't considered the poor opposition, but still, it's not like Wilson was some CG artist. Only four shutouts in his career up to that point.

chitownsportsfan Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Rod Allan totally sleeping on Q, he'd only lead the Tigers staff in fWAR, but he has a losing record so he must only be average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
