"LIONS and TIGERS and BEARS!!! OH MY!!"

What a sports day we had here in Detroit yesterday!   "LIONS and TIGERS and BEARS! OH MY!!" "Toto Cody, we are definitely NOT in Kansas Cleveland anymore!"

First, as many of you know, our Detroit Tigers are in the ALCS Playoffs! They are battling the Texas Rangers for the title of American League Champions and should they win, they will be headed to the World Series! The Tigers were playing in Texas yesterday and part of their game overlapped with the NFL's Detroit Lions leonine return to Monday Night Football after a 10 year absence.

There were a pride of 67,000+ fans (the largest in the history of Ford Field) who roared with pride as the UNDEFEATED Lions definitely showed "da BEARS" who rules the jungle in the "D"!

We have season tickets
here is one of the views

Another view from our seats pre-game.
The excitement was as thick as a Lion's mane!
