Baseball’s version of American Idol
Tigers open tryouts.
I sincerely felt bad for the majority of the participants. I admire those who possess an intense passion for the game – it’s the same passion that fuels my desire to write about the sport. But I can honestly say that most of these individuals earnestly thought they could make the squad. As for me, I just wanted to write a story and obtain some bragging rights. Years down the road, I will tell my grandkids, “You know, there was once a time when grandpa tried out for the Detroit Tigers.” By that time, my memory will be shot - the details will be exaggerated and blown way out of proportion. But they don’t have to know.
