Detroit Tigers

Patrick Mahomes could have been playing with the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park.

What would Chapter 11 mean for our favorite teams...and the way Michigan Sports Fans watch games?

I recently came across an article clipping that suggested at one time the Detroit Tigers almost left the sacred ballfield to play in a domed stadium in Detroit. That means we may have never seen them win their last championship in 1984.

The Detroit Tigers are doing something they've never done before for fans.

A tribute to 1968 World Series 3 game winner Mickey Lolich, the single was released by Marquee Records in Detroit, sometime in late October 1968.

Until or unless Ilitch is willing to share the burden of responsibility, via engaged ownership and committing to spending like a serious contender, it won't matter who the Tigers' general manager is — Detroit will continue to wander the baseball wilderness.

Whenever fans want a manager or executive replaces, it does take on a somewhat blood-thirsty nature. Think Matt Millen with the Detroit Lions, Rich Rodrigues with Michigan, more recently Jeff Blashill with the Red Wings.

How else can you explain Chris Ilitch allowing the man who's completely botched this rebuild oversee another? Ilitch's priority is to maximize the Tigers' profitability with minimum investment, and Avila serves that interest.

Through one-third of the season the Tigers are one of the worst teams in baseball, just one year after a surprising 2021 campaign gave fans hope that the team's five-plus-year rebuilding period was over.
