Vol. 34, No. 6 Tigers Fans Who Always Care September 2018
Vol. 34, No. 6 Tigers Fans Who Always Care September 2018 MORRIS NUMBER RETIREMENT CEREMONY BRIGHTENS SEASON -- By Todd Miller On a sun-drenched Sunday afternoon at Comerica Park, Jack Morris became the seventh Tiger to have his uniform number retired. The pre-game ceremony, along with the Tigers’ 4-2 victory over the Twins, was a respite from a season that has been expectedly frustrating. Two weeks after being inducted to the Hall of Fame, “Mt. Morris” erupted with praise for the City of Detroit, Tigers fans and teammates, several of whom were seated on a podium between the pitcher’s mound and second base, and others with the Morris Family behind home plate. Joining Jack on the dais were fellow Hall of Fame inductee Alan Trammell and a pair of ex-teammates, Lance Parrish and Dan Petry. Also seated on the platform were Al Kaline, Willie Horton, Al Avila and Chris Ilitch. Seated behind home plate were ex-teammates Kirk Gibson, Larry Herndon, Scott Lusader, Larry Pashnick, Dave Rozema and “Sweet Lou” Whitaker, who should soon receive his own plaque in Cooperstown if there is any justice in the baseball world. Ex-trainer Pio DiSalvo rounded out the homecoming of alumni who brought us so much joy from 1983 to 1988. Tigers radio voice Dan Dickerson served as master of ceremonies. Jack’s words to the Tigers faithful were heartfelt. Said Morris, “I never knew what Detroit was like, growing up in Minnesota, but it didn’t take me long to figure it out. It was right in my wheelhouse. -
