Restoring the Roar

Globally, 1984 is probably best known as the title of George Orwell’s classic novel. But the year has a different significance in everyone’s heart. For the history buff it was the year Reagan won the presidential election by a landslide over Walter Mondale. In 1984 the music lover saw Bruce Springsteen release Born in the USA, Prince release Purple Rain, and Michael Jackson win 8 Grammys. For the weird-useless-trivial knowledge guru, 1984 was the year John DeLorean was acquitted of cocaine charges. And, most importantly for this site, sports fans saw Los Angeles host the Summer Olympics, the first 64 team Men’s NCAA Basketball Tournament, and… drum-roll please… The Detroit Tigers win the 1984 World Series.

So what better do 3 guys who grew up in the Detroit area have to do but write about and discuss the current Tigers squad in hopes that they can bring the Glory Days back to Motown. Here’s to this year’s team Restoring the Roar of 1984!

This guy right here is one of the classiest, smartest, most well-spoken and well-rounded human beings to ever step foot on a baseball field and even if he can’t hit lefties, he’s still one hell of a ballplayer. He’s always been “My Tiger” and, even though he is now a member of every baseball fan’s archenemy, I wish him infinitely more success, money and fame. He deserves it. Treat him well New York. They don’t make ‘em like this kid anymore. (With all that said, I think this is a fantastic deal for the Tigers and I’m ecstatic they made it. We get back three pitchers who will help fill the gaps of the bullpen and starting rotation, and have a pretty good young prospect at center. We’ll be ok Tiger fans.)
