You're right, I have a 1971 ball with Aurellio on it. My prize possession though is one of the old green padded field seats from the original Briggs Stadium. I hope the Tigers go all the way. The city could use it!!!

Yeah, Sparky's great. He lives by me in Thousand Oaks, California. When they dedicated the Sparky Anderson Field at Cal Lutheran in Thousand Oaks this past year, Ernie Harwell was one of the guest speakers. It was awesome.

I remember the "Bless you Boys " as well..... Good old Sparky, he was great, I also watched Sparky while he was in Cincy too, I was a big red machine fan also satrting around '70, Rose, Bench, Perez and company ....
Oh those too were the days:
GO get'em Tigers !!!!

Good point Iceberg,Iceberg said:why does this say "clinched AL Central"?
They havent clinched it yet...just a playoff spot
I suppose they just jumped the gun a bit, they have clinched a playoff spot (as you mentioned) and that is a huge thing for a team that has not been in the playofs since what '68 ???
Yes I know... , '87 I think.
What is the magic number for the division, I thought I had heard it was 2, but I am not sure.
IF thats the case, it could be clinched tonight or tommorow.
edit:
My mistake, the Magic Number is 5

I'm pretty sure I read in the News yesterday that the Magic # is 5 for the division.
Is it wrong that I'm kinda hoping the last two games will mean something, since I have tickets?

Yeah that was me...
Both The Twins and Tigers in the playoffs....Does the division matters at this point? (probably for home field) Were the White Sox a 2005 Fluke?

yes it does because the wild card cant play the division winner of the same division. So pretty much the wild card plays the Yankees
I don't know. The Twins and Yankees split their series together. In some ways I think the Twins have an edge on the Yankees. I think a lot of it is going to depend on middle relief.
Sean Mota said:
not necessarily. Yes the Yankees are "The Yankees" but the Twins have proven they can beat anyone this year (and sadly lose to teams like KC & TB)
But giving them home field by winning the Central would help greatly
I didn't forget, I did that on purpose...dantheman77 said:

You are correct, I was mistaken, the 2 I heard may have been for the playoffs from a few days ago.TheTimm said:I'm pretty sure I read in the News yesterday that the Magic # is 5 for the division.

The Yankees were also swept by TB this year.
Thats called playing down to the compitition,Neutron said:

Oh my, we have a winning streak going! Twinkies are matching us blow for blow, though. Riffjam thanks for reminding me about Joe Coleman. How could I have forgotten (Oh yeah, I'm old) that guy had a great year in1972. GO TIGERS! Off the subject, you would think all the local sucess, (Tigers, Pistons, Red Wings) would have rubbed off on the pathetic Lions. What will it take to get Matt Millen fired?
Talk about memories !!!
FSN-D just did a little bit with Ernie Harwell interviewing George Kell talking about how Kell came to the broadcast booth.
Talk about two classy guys.
I always loved listening to Ernie and George with his southern draw....
I use to listen to them when I was a kid with the transister radio for late night games
Remember asking for more 9volt batteries from Mom and Dad
Also enjoyed listening to Marty Breneman and Joe Nuxhall as well ,
That was along ways to pick up 700 WLW on my transister as well
Man talk about memories
Those were my favorite Announcers !!!
