Detroit has been through some pretty tough times, but one
thing that has remained hopeful is Detroit’s
sports teams and their loyal fan base.
You have to admit that Detroit
has some pretty incredible teams. Red
Wings just set a franchise record for their 15th consecutive home
victory, the Lions made the 2011 playoffs, and the Tigers captured the AL
Central division title last year. This
weekend I was fortunate enough to attend the 2012 Detroit Tigers Lead-off Party
at Motor City Casino. What an
experience!
Check out this video of some
of the players getting introduced! It
was awesome to see them all come home and create anticipation for the 2012
season.
The event allowed corporate
sponsors and suite holders to mingle with many of the players. I have to admit I was a little bit
nervous. What do you say to some of the
greatest players in baseball? However, I
am happy to report that all the players I was in contact with were very down to
earth and approachable. Check out some
of the people I met!

Attending this event as
definitely got me pumped for the season to begin. Not only is this day epic because of the
baseball, but also for the city. It’s
amazing to see the diverse fan base that comes together for a common cause…………to
see The Detroit Tigers! Detroit
is full of great experiences and Comerica
Park is definitely near
the top. What are some of your memorable
experiences at Comerica
Park?
Wow! Sounds like an amazing opportunity and experience! I know Carter loved being able to practice at Comerica Park last year with some Alumni players! Detroit is definitely a great city for sports. I'm hoping to attend my FIRST opening day this year!!!!! Go TIGERS!
ReplyDeleteI have had the opportunity to meet most of the Detroit Tigers as well, they are great guys and very down to earth. I have been a huge fan of the city as well and I am lucky enough to work for a company that host a lot of events in the city. We get to meet a lot of real good people that believe in the city and are pulling for it. I have a lot of great memories at Comerica Park but one that stand out the most is when I got a foul ball. It was a great day to begin with and then that just topped it off. I look forward to the season too, especially now that we spent 214 million on a nine year contract.
ReplyDeleteLove the video, I am super jealous! I can't wait for the season to start. All eyes will certainly be on Detroit because of the signing of Prince Fielder.
