Friday Fungoes

By now you know how we like to recognize the birthdays of current and former Tigers. Imagine our excitement to run across this many birthdays for April 18:

• Miguel Cabrera, 25
• Rico Brogna, 38
• Brian Dubois, 41
• Doug Flynn, 57
• “Wahoo Sam” Crawford, would have been 128

And from the Baseball-Reference.com archives:

1991 – A sellout crowd of 42,191 watch the Chicago White Sox play their first game at new Comiskey Park and sees the home team get crushed by the Detroit Tigers, 16 – 0. Jack McDowell gives up the park’s first home run to Cecil Fielder.
