"Ernie" play about Ernie Harwell opens for second season
Mitch Albom has an interesting column on his play "Ernie" and Harwell's broadcasting style that re-opens for its second season at the City Theatre in Detroit. Mitch wrote the play at legendary Detroit Tigers announcer Ernie Harwell's request, and last year the play was able to donate $30,000 to Harwell's favorite charities. Includes a great video interview with Harwell.

Megatron, Megastar, Madden NFL 13: Detroit Lions Superstar picked for video game cover
ESPN (and every other sports outlet in the country) reports that Calvin "Megatron" Johnson has landed the coveted cover of "Madden NFL 13." While the video game is tremendously popular, it is also purportedly haunted by the Madden Curse, with nearly every superstar who lands the cover having a shattered career following the selection. Will Johnson beat the curse?

100 Years at Tiger Stadium
Tiger Stadium opened on April 20, 1912. It was 100 years ago last weekend that Ty Cobb scored the first run by stealing home. From that day until 1999, The corner of Michigan & Trumbull was the address for baseball in Michigan. Click through for some memories, photos and a great video of this classic ballpark.
