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. |

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. |
