For spring break 1991, my UC Santa Cruz dormmate, Eli, when all the way back to his home in Detroit, MI. When he came back, he gave me a little fold-out pamphlet, with the Detroit Tigers' upcoming 1991 schedule. Apparently, I used it as a bookmark, in my March 1991 issue of Stereophile.

The '91 Tigers still had Trammell and Whitaker. The homerun-or-strike-out pair of Rob Deer and Cecil Fielder were 30 years ahead of their time. Eli said that he had only been to a handful of games at Tiger Stadium. He felt that tickets being affordable got customers into the ballpark, where they'd then have to buy overpriced beer, food, and concessions. He didn't like my Oakland A's, or our SoCal dormmates' Anaheim Angels.

But Eli wasn't all that interested in the Tigers. Instead, he was lamenting that the 2-time defending NBA champ Pistons, while still good, were fading (they'd get swept by Michael Jordan's Bulls). Interestingly, Eli could not curb his enthusiasm about the up-and-coming Detroit Redwings. They had hall of famer Steve Yzerman; enforcer Bob Probert; arguably the best overall player in Sergei Fedorov; and a promising rookie in Keith Primeau.

Hard to believe that 1991 was 30 years ago. Seems like 3 years, but who's counting, LOL?! A check on tomorrow's Royals-Tigers game at Comerica shows that tickets start at $16 for outfield seats, with field level seats in the $50- and $60-range. Box seats are around $100. Nope, I've never been to Detroit. I've only seen the Tigers here at the Oakland Coliseum, and the Red Wings at the Pond (now Honda Center) in Anaheim. I've never seen the Lions or Pistons.
