		<title>The Meaning of Spring Training</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I will be honest, I put way too much stock in spring training. Joel Zumaya has a bad outing as he works on a new pitch &#8211; I have a bad day. Miguel Cabrera goes 0-4 against the NY Mets split squad &#8211; I wonder if something&#8217;s wrong. Max Scherzer has back-to-back bad starts &#8211; [...]]]></description>

		<title>EL SID</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I hate Sidney Crosby.
 
Now, before that statement sets off a border war with our neighbors to the south (yes, we in Detroit can literally look down on Windsor, towards which generations of Motown Men have beaten a frenzied path in search of the famed Cheetah&#8217;s Lounge, home of the Forty &#8211; count &#8216;em 40 &#8212; Jungle [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Detroit Tigers&#8217; Pixie Shortstop Donie Bush</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Long before shortstops were expected to bat .300 and hit for power, the Detroit Tigers fielded a miniature fielding machine named Donie Bush.
His career with the Tigers began in 1908 and blossomed the next year as Bush became the team&#8217;s full-time shortstop for the 1909 American League champions. Bush, 22 at the time, stood at [...]]]></description>

		<title>Detroit Lions Make Early Off-Season Splash</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The news that the Lions had kicked off their own offseason with a number of free agent signings, and for once, a trade that seems like a steal, may be a shock to most of us that picked up the paper or read online about the news. We have grown accustomed to hear the negative [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Black Mike&#8221; and Detroit&#8217;s Roaring &#8217;30s</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We know of him as &#8220;Mickey&#8221; or &#8220;Black Mike,&#8221; but his real name was Gordon Stanley Cochrane. He was born 107 years ago in Bridgewater, Massachusetts in the spring of 1903 to Scottish immigrant parents.
For Detroit Tigers fans, however, his life began in 1934 when owner Frank Navin was unable to acquire Babe Ruth in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Abbott &amp; Costello&#8217;s Baseball Classic &#8220;Who&#8217;s On First?&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Abbott &#38; Costello&#8217;s &#8220;Who&#8217;s On First?&#8221; routine has been a part of American pop culture for over 70 years. It was first performed by the pair in 1937 shortly after they formed their burlesque team. This was back in the days when they were appearing in vaudeville revues and the like.
In Cooperstown, New York, a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Remembering George Kell’s Tiger Pre-Game Show</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Growing up in the 1960s, one of my favorite Saturday afternoon delights was tuning into the WJBK telecast from Tiger Stadium for George Kell’s pre-game show called “Tiger Warm Up.” (Black and white television, mind you.)
Standing behind the batting cage, Kell would greet the fans with, “Good afternoon everybody, this is George Kell for another [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Detroit Tigers&#8217; New Coke</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Doesn&#8217;t it always happen this way? Team makes blockbuster trade, team gets throw-in player to even up deal, throw-in becomes best player in trade. While the Tigers wouldn&#8217;t mind him being a close second to Austin Jackson, Phil Coke needs to make an impact this year if the Tigers plan on doing anything late in the season.

		<title>Listen To a Rare Ty Cobb Radio Interview</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ty Cobb shaped and defined Detroit baseball more than any other player. The Georgia Peach&#8217;s aggressive, gritty style of play is the foundation upon which the Detroit Tigers franchise is built.
While there is ample video footage of Cobb during his playing days, very little audio exists. That&#8217;s because video cameras didn&#8217;t capture sound in those [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Forgotten Detroit Tigers&#8217; Season of 1915</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s fairly easy to recall most of the years the Detroit Tigers have won 100 games or more because most times the feat included a memorable post season.  However, there are two seasons in which the Tigers won at least 100 games and finished in second place.
One year is still relatively fresh in Tigers fans&#8217; minds.  [...]]]></description>
