I went to a lions game at the Silverdome as a kid and got a pair of gloves signed by Herman Moore..he put his hands up to mine for a picture afterwards..HUUUUUGE! I mean I was just a kid but they were like oven mitts with bananas. If I can find the picture I'll throw it up on here.

Hey my favorite ACTIVE pitcher right now is Dontrell Willis. Your favorites arent alway the best lol
 
Sadly I am serious. I like him in the field and espically how he played a couple seasons back. I will also admit I follow the Tigers but baseball isn't even close to being my favorite sport.
