 The Tigers won their
16th game in the last 20 when they rallied to beat the Colorado
Rockies, 7-6, Saturday night at Comerica Park. They finally climbed to
.500 and are in the race to win the American League Central Division.
It was an exciting game, but the best part was being able to
watch the game with my son Little B, who hung on every pitch and every
run. He jumped as high in the air as the Tigers did when Miguel Cabrera
hit a game-winning double in the bottom of the ninth to erase a one-run
deficit. And he loved watching Ryan Raburn's grand-slam home run that
gave the Tigers a 5-0 lead.
I've always heard stories of fathers watching games with
their sons and now it is coming to light for me. Brandon is six now and
he is getting more into the game every day. Many of the games end after
his bed time but the first thing he wants to know in the morning is the
Tigers score.
Saturday's game motivated me to take him to his first game
this season. He is really into it and that is great to see. He never
talks about going to Pistons games or to see the Red Wings or Lions.
But he really wants to go to more Tigers games. Maybe the time is right
to get a mini-season ticket plan to go to games with him.
It seems as if it is worth it now. When I took him to games
before, he was more interested in the food, rides and people-watching.
Now it seems as if he is more interested in the game. So if you see me
at Comerica Park holding the hand of a little guy, you will know who it
is.
He'll be the guy smiling and reciting baseball scores.
