Oakland A’s fans are like no other. Just watched the last game ever at the coliseum and now there’s a Beastie Boys singalong on the BART train 😂

First and only time at Busch Stadium in St. Louis was eight years ago today. Really enjoyed my trip there!

Alright Tigers. Four June wins in a row after, if I’m remembering correctly, losing every single day in every possible miserable way in May. I see you!

Sadly appears to be an evergreen tweet
The Tigers have had their share of miserable seasons. This one is definitely shaping up to be right up there

Seven years ago I spent the afternoon rockin a cowbell with the right field bleacher drum crew at the Coliseum. The good ol’ days at one of my favorite places on earth, with some of the nicest people on earth. Sigh.

Nice to see Kenley Jansen get to two outs in the 9th inning of a one-run game
and then get the count to 0-2
and then throw a center cut meatball for a three-run walk-off bomb.
Well done, Tigers

The fun news is there are a ton of people at the Oakland Ballers game. Fans are coming out! The less fun news is that about a thousand of us are still waiting to get in Raimondi Park 20 minutes after the game started. We definitely got here late but man, this is a serious line!

Been teaching for 29 years now. Tonight a former student of mine plays a game in the big leagues for the first time! Congrats, Henry!

Here’s a cool piece Henry wrote for our sports magazine, about the high school recruiting process. Fun fact: at the time of the photo, he had committed to play at the University of Texas. Getting drafted by the A’s in the second round changed his path.

Vida Blue getting the sign, 1971. He would go on to have a 1.82 ERA over 312 innings with 301 strikeouts to win MVP and Cy Young.

“Every year the Tigers are the Agatha Christie of center fielders. And then there were none.” —Jason Benetti with another gem. There should be an option to take a graduate course in figurative language with every Tiger game lol
