This team has me so excited for this coming season and beyond.
Got to get myself one of those Verlander Fastball Flakes T-Shirts and cereal.
What is also good to see/read/interesting, are more Tigers stories from 'national media' sites.

Leyland's presentation encourages amateur scouts

LAKELAND, Fla. -- Tigers manager Jim Leyland spoke to Tigers amateur scouts Wednesday morning at the request of vice president of amateur scouting David Chadd.

The message of his 15-minute presentation was two-fold: He appreciates the work they're doing, and that he and them are both spokes in the wheel of a Major League organization.

"I couldn't do what they do. I'll admit it," Leyland said. "I'm dead serious. They're special, and that's where it all starts. They do a heck of a job, and they're really under the radar. They never get any credit."

The one bit of advice he had for them: Go see a Major League game, if only to see the speed of that level compared with high school or college ball.

Verlander's Fastball Flakes hit grocery stores.
LAKELAND, Fla. -- Justin Verlander's face popped up on Conan and hit the cover of a video this offseason. The next logical step was a cereal box.

Thus, it was fitting that as Spring Training opened, Justin Verlander's Fastball Flakes hit grocery store shelves in Michigan.

The frosted corn flake cereal, a fat-free food, is packaged in a limited edition collector's box, with a photo of Verlander pitching on the front. It's available at Meijer stores in the Detroit, Lansing, Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids areas, or online at plbsports.com.

Verlander will donate his proceeds from the sales to the John D. Dingell VA Medical Center in Detroit and the VA Healthcare System in Ann Arbor. The two facilities are part of his Verlander's Victory for Veterans program, which honors veterans wounded serving in Iraq and Afghanistan by allowing them to watch a game he pitches from his suite at Comerica Park.

Verlander was already preparing to hear the ribbing from teammates.

"That was all pre-MVP/Cy Young, though," he said Monday. "That was done in the middle of last season, early on, that photo shoot. That wasn't like, 'Look at me, I'm MVP, I'm going to put my face on a cereal box.'"

February 23 in Tigers and mlb history :

1940 - The A's waive Lynn Nelson to Detroit. Nelson was the A's top winner in 1939 with 10 victories, but he'll go 1-1 with Detroit before bowing out.

1976 - Major League owners announce that spring training will not open until a new labor contract is agreed upon.

1990 - Despite the owners dropping their arbitration and minimum salary proposals, spring training camps remain closed.

1996 - The Rules Committee announces that the strike zone will be larger, dropping it from the top of the knees to the hollow below the knees. The change comes out of a series of recommendations to help speed up play.

2010: Major League Baseball announces that it will begin testing minor leaguers for human growth hormone this season. The illegal performance-enhancing substance has long been considered undetectable by conventional doping tests, but its presence has recently been isolated through a blood test, which will be used for this purpose.
