The Tigers is the Perfect Team

Rating: 8/10 (3 October 2008)

I was happy to see that they picked the Tigers to feature in the movie as the pitcher's team. Billy says...."I've always been a tiger". It's neat to see a player portrayed as being so loyal to his team. Not to say that Cub fans are not great or any other team, but Tigers fans are special. It doesn't matter how the Tigers are doing, they still come out to cheer on their team. Detroit may be down and out because of the misfortunes of the auto industry but when it comes to her sports teams, the support is always there. Detroit fans are more like small town fans than urban. You can be in line waiting to enter Tiger stadium and strike up a conversation with a complete stranger and feel a familiarity that is normally reserved for those watching the local Jaycee baseball team at a local park.
