Nice article. "Whitey" Granderson - that's hilarious!

There's not much to say about the Yanks right now, so they might as well focus on other teams. 'Bout time!

I thought it was "Whitey" Inge. Whatever, it's nice to see the Times write something good about the Tigers.

Didn't Joe work for the Free Press? I worked at Channel 7 in the early 80's and I remember Joe from the press boxes during that time.

Joe is a hometown boy. He grew up near the River in the Jefferson-Chalmers area. He did work for the Free Press.

I saw him when we were in Journalism classes at Wayne State. He was already interning with the Free Press. I was stuck at the South End.

Take that YANKEES! The Tigers are hot and you're team are not. The Yankees are a has-been AL team. It amazing that the Tigers beat them in the playoffs.
