Crippy

I'm a professional baseball and hockey fan. I like to say I'm married to baseball but hockey is my girlfriend. The Tigers are my favorite team. Reggie Jackson is my favorite player.

I started watching baseball in 1977 at the age of 8 years old. My Mom was a baseball fanatic so that's were I probably got it from. Anyway, she let me stayup with her and watch the 77 World Series. My first memory was game 6 when Reginald Martinez Jackson hit 3 home runs on three swings of his bat. From that moment on, I was hooked. Although the Tigers are my team, Reggie was and is my man.

My favorite current players are Curtis Granderson, Rick Porcello, Alex Avila, and Jose Iggy Iglesias.

I've been a Tigers season ticket holder since 2006.

During the 2003 season, when the Tigers went 43-119, I didn't have season tickets but my best friend did. Needless to say nobody ever wanted the tickets. As a result, he and I probably went to 50 + home games. That being said, I feel that I have carte blanche to say antyhing I want about the Tigers, including, periodically, "I hate them!".
