All of the players were willing to sign with the exception of Dean Palmer and Bobby Higginson. Lance Parrish was my favorite Tiger growing up and he talked to me for about 30 minutes about the Tigers and his time with the team. He also autographed a ball and some cards. Jose Lima was awesome in that he made the time to do the same even though he had his family with him. Those Tigers got it, without the fans they would have to find another line of work.

Was in line behind Gibby and his friend for the elevator to go up to the suites at the Joe. 15 person elevator. The two went in, gave us the hand, and the doors closed. Everyone was furious. 1st class jerk.
