Guess 1: Does it put a brand on the balls for special events?

Guess 2: Is this used to randomly inspect new baseballs?

Z, no. Lightguard is still up on 8 Mile. I don't know what the purpose of the one on Grand River is, I just know I've driven past it and made a point of checking it out to see what they replaced Olympia with.

If it is a torture device for relievers I hope it's well maintained because it sure must got used often.

Apparently, they didn't have one at COPA or Polanco skipped out on 'head shaping day'

While were waiting for KR to make us sweat it out, I threw this together I guess 7's video & pics made me feel a little melancholy.

Goodbye Old Girl

I’m tired and old, it’s time to say bye,
My house was your home,yes even for Ty.

When Babe set foot on my tall green bright grass
I told him okay I’ll give you a pass

I’ve been through a lot they come and they go.
But grieve me not friends I’m no longer the show

There’s Harry and Cochrane and Prince Hal and Charley
There were so many laughs boy did Cash like to party.

There was Murder's Row, but we had our Hank
And our home grown son Willie was built like a tank

Tram and Sweet Lou each were just like a son
As Ernie would say “2 for the price of one”.

My neighborhood burned back in 67’
That 68’ team was a gift down from heaven,

My shoulders are slumped and I’ll soon be debris
But weep not dear friends, no weep not for me.

Al Kaline first class, he was born with a touch
Kirk though rambunctious but tough in the clutch

That 84’ team sure did have swagger
But the Padres learned fast when we gave them the dagger

From Bennett to Navin to Briggs then into Tiger
My name may have changed but my roof just got higher.

I’ve opened my home to friend and to foe
But now it’s my time, it’s my time to go.

My final decree as my walls start to crumble
May a smile cross your face when you think of Michigan and Trumbull.
