Without a doubt, one of the greatest days of the year was this past October 14. I was watching the Detroit Tigers and Oakland A’s baseball game at a bar right around the corner of Comerica Park in downtown Detroit.

So there we were, bottom of the ninth inning. It’s a tie game. Two men out. Runners on first and second. I don’t know what the pitch-count was, but let’s just say it was 3-2. Magglio Ordonez was the batter, who was previously a member of the White Sox [my friends were impressed that I knew that, too.] Anyway, there we were . . . anticipating an extra innings game when Magglio hits a shot to deep left center field . . . homerun! The bar went crazy! I went crazy! Like, crazy. Shouting for at least 10 minutes straight . . . no pun intended.

It was an amazing afternoon. Who knew sports could be so fun? The Tigers are now in the World Series against the St. Louis Cardinals. I’m happy to see two Midwest teams, but surely my loyalty falls to the Tigers. I definitely plan to be in Detroit when the Tigers win it all. Stay tuned for that posting. Go Tigers! Go Bayside!
