No, he was saying the Tigers drafted him and he signed too later for the minors so he hung around the Tigers.

He was drafted in '85.

"John Smoltz, the Hall of Fame pitcher, had a grandfather, also named John Smoltz, who worked for the Detroit Tigers as part of the grounds crew and in the press box at Tiger Stadium for over 30 years. His grandfather was a big fan of baseball and of his grandson, John. The elder John Smoltz was also known for his generosity with baseball tickets and for carrying around a baseball card of his grandson and handing them out."

So what did they tell Vest when they went out to the mound?

”Imagine you are Sherlock Holmes and Moriarity has strapped a belt of explosives around a small child and if it explodes 2/3 of the Detroit Metro area will be destroyed by a neutron bomb.“

I’ve been watching Sherlock today and this is the first thing that came to my mind. Of course I’m really sick today. You need to cut me some slack.

If Dingler runs after the swings, is he safe?

[Tigermojo]

LMAO

Whoever is whistling loudly on the radio broadcast needs to STFU. 

[lordstanley]

Haha, he sailed it! 7-5

[romad1]

Sweeney manufactures a run by dribbling one to the pitcher. 

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

[GalagaGuy]

No. 1st was occupied, so he can't take the base on a passed ball 3rd strike.

[gehringer_2]

Well, their pitcher's error was worse than our pitcher's error.

[GalagaGuy]

Astros pitcher just had a 2 pitch inning.  

[IdahoBert]

[holygoat]

The wild thing is, the Tigers should have like 16 runs now.
