If the Cubs and Red Sox can do it, how about the Tigers?

As long as I am acting as an unpaid shill for National Review Online, let me point out John J. Miller post on the Detroit Tigers. I too grew up rooting for the Tigers. I too idolized Trammell, Whitaker, Parrish, Gibson, and Morris. I used to go to a couple of Tiger games a year but then we moved to Indiana. What year? 1984, the year they won the World Series and won 104 games. No trips to the ball park that year. I continued to follow the Tigers for a number of years but eventually the futility got to be too much. Call me a fair weather fan if you must but I gave up. Oh sure I would love to see them start winning again but I am just too disconnected from the sport and the team to call myself a Tigers fan. The only Michigan sports loyalty I carry with me is University of Michigan. Oddly enough my passion for the Wolverines has only grown here in Buckeye land. Alas, I carry only nostalgia when I think of the Tigers. Hats of to John for sticking it out all these years
