The Tigers extend our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Wayne Comer, who passed away Wednesday.

Note to self. Build a time machine, buy a Mustang, and drive to St. Louis and attend this game. Who wants to go with me?

Note to self, build a time machine, get a job with the Free Press sports desk.

I wonder what happened to that terrific bucket hat Dick McAuliffe wore for the Tigers celebration in the clubhouse after the '68 clincher? (Now that is a piece of memorabilia I would love to have!).
