I remember many times going to Tigers games when Dan and I were kids. Dan and I were huge baseball collectors and card collectors at the time so we knew everyone on the tigers in the Late 80's and early 90's.
Some of our favorites were people like
Alan Trammell
,
Paul Gibson
,
Lou Whitaker
,
Chet Lemon
,
Travis Fryman
and
Cecil Fielder
.
Cecil Fielder was my absolute favorite because there was some hype about him breaking Babe Ruth's home run record. He did accomplish that and I felt like I knew a star athlete and I was also happy because all of his cards went up in value.
After 1990, many people out did him, but I feel that they did it with drug enhancing help.
I really appreciate my parents being able to take us to the ball game.
I loved the ambiance. I remember having my parents buy me this huge cardboard tiger arm that we would could use. There is just something about a ball game that really defines America.
My children will also be going to lots of Tigers games.
