Magic Number is 23


to beat the Twins as of Monday, Sept. 5. But remember, we have seven games left against the Twinkies, so every victory in those series gives us "two." Sweep all seven (unlikely, granted, but allow me a fantasy) and the Magic Number tumbles.

  1. Remember the "Sock it to 'em, Tigers" bumper stickers from '68? I had one in Latin that said "Soc et tuum, Tigres." Fr. Devine, my Latin teacher at SHS, found it amusing.

  2. Fr. Devine is still around, according to his pal Fr. Walker.

  3. Fr. Walker! I remember him walking softly in those rubber soled shoes so he could catch kids smoking.

  4. Fr. Devine, was my French teacher. He was with us for a time in college and then left and got maarried. He still lives in Detroit. Fr. Walker was great and I still try to stay in touch with him. Tigers could finish off the race with sweep this weekend.

  5. So exciting. I had a share of season tickets with a group of folks - the sad thing is that when the Tigers posted the prices for playoffs and World Series, the cheap group opted out of pursuing post season tickets. I am so disappointed - on of the main reasons I got involved was to get 1st crack at post season play. Oh Well - I have entered my name in the lottery, it it's meant to be it will be.
