At the Tigers' Opening Day (Monday, April 2) at Comerica Park, my friend Doug and I had a GREAT time. After parking on the roof of Cobo Hall, and taking the People Mover over to the stadium, we had Standing-Room Only tickets. The weather was gloriously sunny and pleasant, so we spent the game on the "Pepsi Porch," the area in right-center field. As games go, it was a good one, although not entirely to the liking of us Detroit fans. The Tigers surrendered 3 runs to Toronto in the first inning, but then came back and eventually tied the game. However, they then gave up 2 more in the top of the 10th inning, losing 5-3. Ah, well ... it's a long season! As renowned longtime Baltimore Orioles manager Earl Weaver said, "This ain't football! We do this every day." So now we settle in for the marathon which is the baseball season.
