It's a family tradition - kept the family close going to games all my life. There are none better than TIGER FANS....DETROIT fans for that matter. A must is to be a spring training every year.
I miss Michigan, someone help me get a job back there! :-)

About Me
100% Complete Bio
Grew up in Dearborn, Michigan. Graduated from Michigan Tech in the Upper Peninsula. Both my parents encouraged me to enjoy Detroit sports: Tigers, Lions, Pistons and Red Wings.
Moved to Orlando in 1995 and still cheer on my DETROIT boys when they come to town!
I enjoy sports, my nieces and nephews, traveling to corvette shows, Peanut and Jeff Dunham, and Jimmy Buffett. I want to leave this world a better place than I found it. I love to volunteer at the local homeless shelter. I love to help older people.
I have two parrots, an Umbrella Cockatoo and an African Grey, that keep me laughing.
Life is way too short, enjoy every day. Every day find SOMETHING to make you smile.

| Greatest Moment in Sports: | 1984 Tigers win World Series and Detroit Pistons 5-game sweep of L.A. Lakers in 2004. |
| Greatest Event in Sports: | Choke at Doak. In 1994 FSU losing to UF 31-3 and with 12 mins left FSU came back and tied the game. FSU had a chance to win but Bobby went for the extra point rather than 2 points that could have gave them the win. Didn't want to. It was 35-35. |

| Sports Figures from my Hometown: | Cecil Fielder~My all time favorite Tiger. He was a giant during an otherwise dismal period in Tiger history. My best Tiger memory is listening to the last game of the 1990 season. Cecil needed 1 home run to get to 50 (this was a relatively dead ball era, and nobody had hit 50 since 1977). He hit 2 that night in dramatic fashion to end the season at 51. Cecil hit booming, high rising, majestic home runs. He was fun to watch and had a calm, warm, gentlemanly demeanor. |
