I saw this today and was wondering do other teams beat writers also do this?

You get to know a guy a little bit, you naturally pull for him. Why is this noteworthy?

It's particularly bad with Tiger writers IMO.

Some of that is likely the lack of quality baseball around these parts

I am personally not interested in what Brandon Dixon is doing, but I agree it's not a problem.

who the hell is brandon dixon?

Part time baseball player, part time surfer dude.  He was a Tiger a few seasons ago.  Might be an answer in an upcoming immaculate grid.

The papers used to do a stat box on former tigers just to put Willie Horton's and later Ben Olgive's stats out there to compare to the late 1970s Tigers who were still trying to break out of the 5th place friend zone.
