You never know what’s gonna happen in baseball…. We do everything together and we’re gonna win the game.” [...]

While Absolute Michigan has been paying attention to efforts to save a portion of Tiger Stadium, I’d like to be absolutely clear in saying that Comerica Park is a gorgeous ballpark and I wouldn’t have the Detroit Tigers playing anywhere else!

I think I speak for a lot of people when I say “Wow.” It’s probably obvious from this photo that Paul loves his city. If not, a visit to the Detroit Tigers or Detroit Pistons groups he helps to manage might help, and the fact that he stepped in to oversee the complexity of exposure.Detroit [...]
