Hope Jim didn’t miss it.

Holy cripes almighty, deJesus SAVES the shutout.

Nice!! Only other time a Tiger got his 3000th hit at home was 101 years ago. http://exhibits.baseballhalloffame.org/3000_hit_club/cobb_ty.htm

Yankees scored two in the 9th to walkoff over the Guarindians. Tigers will be tied with the White Sox about 15 minutes from now and can be tied for 1st place with a win in the nightcap.

Every Tigers starter with at least one hit today.

Keep yourself in good shape and you could be still around to see Torkelson’s 400th home run.

Don’t forget Masters champ Scottie Scheffler went to same high school as Stafford.

Do you think they’ll give the evening crowd one at-bat with him?

No such thing as too many Ogrodnick highlights. 🙂

Yeah I’ve gotta think there is more skill involved in hockey’s shooting percentage than in baseball’s BABIP for example. I should check what Bossy’s rate was and what is Ovechkin’s.

3000 hits for Miggy, Tork with a 3-run blast, and a young starter has pitched 2 innings without arm soreness.

I guess that could be kinduv bad news, right? Unsustainable shot %?

Great call by Dan! Miggy’s 3000.m4a

Great call by Dan! edit: ha, wrong thread. But worth spreading the joy about Miggy, lol Miggy’s 3000.m4a

MLB Network promising live look-ins at every Miggy at-bat as he chases 3,000.

Last home game of the season. Busy day in the area, with the Tigers also home and playing 2.

Kaline had a home run wiped away once. Wasn’t when he was sitting on 399 though.

This my favourite ever non-Red Wings NHL highlight. 3-time defending Cup champs were under 2 minutes from elimination in 1979 until …

I don't think anyone seemed cooler or more exciting to me in the late '70s NHL than Guy Lafleur https://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/nhl/guy-lafleur-obituary-1.5766441 Montreal Canadiens icon Guy Lafleur, who captured five Stanley Cup titles and was a hockey hero in Quebec long before his NHL playing days, has died. He was 70. The cause of death was not immediately known. However, Lafleur suffered through health issues in the latter stages of his life. In September 2019, he underwent quadruple bypass heart surgery, which was followed by lung surgery two months later. Then, in October of 2020, he endured a recurrence of lung cancer. "We are deeply saddened to learn of the death of Guy Lafleur. All members of the Canadiens organization are devastated by his passing," Canadiens President Geoff Molson said in a statement. "Guy Lafleur had an exceptional career and always remained simple, accessible, and close to the Habs and hockey fans in Quebec, Canada and around the world. Throughout his career, he allowed us to experience great moments of collective pride. He was one of the greatest players in our organization while becoming an extraordinary ambassador for our sport." For decades, Lafleur — nicknamed "The Flower" — scored seemingly with ease at all levels of hockey and grew into the role of one of the game's flashiest superstars. He often mesmerized fans with his signature long blond hair flowing behind him as he rushed up the ice before unleashing one of his patented booming slapshots. By his 10th birthday, there were already signs that Lafleur was a generational talent, skating circles around kids three years his senior at an international peewee hockey tournament in Quebec City. Lafleur played junior hockey for the Quebec Jr. Aces and Quebec Remparts. He amassed a staggering 465 points in two seasons and two playoffs with the Remparts, leading the team to the Memorial Cup title in 1971. That year, Lafleur set the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League regular-season record of 130 goals, which was eclipsed by another French hockey prodigy, Mario Lemieux (133), in the 1983-84 campaign.

Would like to see Bertuzzi get 30. Needs two more.

Dan’s call of the game-ending double play. DP Beats Yankees.m4a
