Tigers vs. Yankees

I took a LOT of pictures of this event and it was difficult to thin it down to just a few.  The unfortunate side of this is that the Tigers did lose to the stinking Yankees.  The upside is that there were a lot of great players on the field and going to the game is half of the fun!


Mike getting ready to go in!  They changed the scoreboard since our last game in 05 and the video screen is HUGE now!

Game 2 of our baseball vacation and yet again it's chilly and the clouds are ready to rain.




Not every Tiger's fan is super happy about the expensive long term deal that was given to Prince Fielder this year, but since I was a kid watching his Dad play for the Tigers...  It just seemed right to see him out there.  Plus, he was awesome at the Twins game the weekend before.



Comerica Park is really one of the most beautiful ballparks around now.



Oh look who it is...

And look who struck out!

The Tigers logo on the scoreboard also changed up and this version was my favorite!



As the game was nearing it's end, we ventured down for better seats and some face time on the Jumbo Tron!     





They were pretty sure they were going to win, so it was drug out a little...

"So, guys what are you doing after this?"
"Dude, we're in Detroit.  We're going to our limos with our police escort to the hotel!"

Just like how I'm always amazed at how BIG NBA players are in real life, seeing him pretty close I was a little surprised at how much bigger he is at ground level.  Seeing the players with my own eyes and what they do when the TV cameras aren't on them is always something I look forward to at the ballpark.


Thank You Pepsi for the consolation fireworks to celebrate our loss.  It almost made me forget the stinking Yanks beat us... almost.
