As I’m starting to write this post, there is a hint of spring around the corner and I wonder what memories this season stirs in you. There is still snow on the ground, but next week the ST60 crew is off to Florida to cover our Tigers and various other Major League ball clubs.
When I was a kid I couldn’t wait for the Tigers to start spring training. I knew that I would soon be spending time with my dad, watching Tiger baseball or listening to Ernie Harwell on the radio. My dad worked hard his whole life and even on his days off we would work together in the garden or the garage, but the radio would always be tuned to WJR and Tiger baseball. That was a connection I always had with my father who was born in a different time and world.
Even today, close to eighty years old he makes his comments about what they should do or who isn’t performing. I can talk to my father for hours about baseball and it makes no difference that I do a sports show, he always thinks he’s right.
Please, tell us what spring training or baseball has meant to you. Till next time….
Our annual Sports Talk “60″ spring training trip is scheduled for March 3rd. Chip, Kevin, Paul “Big Daddy” and I will be heading down for some action packed baseball. Of course we will be covering the Tigers, but also we want to see the Phillies, Astros and Nationals. It will be 4 days of games, checking out the new players and the veterans.
There are some changes to our own Tigers, as in we now have Johnny Damon in the lineup. We will be sending back some live feed to Jimmie James everyday from each game site.
Stay tuned and don’t forget, Sports Talk “60″ T-shirts are now available.
