The Detroit Tigers did not. Both, however, will be looking for a strong finish as Detroit begins the second half of the season today with a weekend stand in New York against the Yankees. And Dickerson will be back in the broadcast booth as the teams full-time radio play-by-play announcer.

With the season opener near, Detroit manager Jim Leyland still has vacancies in his starting rotation. Two to be exact. To make matters worse, the bullpen still seems unsettled.

But there are still too many questions on the pitching staff. Specifically, in the bullpen.

That snapshot set in motion an ambitious pursuit for Anderson, who recently authored his fourth edition of "The Detroit Tigers: A Pictorial Celebration of the Greatest Players and Moments in Tiger History."

First, the face of the franchise is sent packing -- to the New York Yankees, of all teams. Then, the shortcomings of the Tigers are put on full display over the weekend in a three-game sweep against Tampa Bay.

A year later, he was the spark that helped turn around the Detroit franchise when nobody wanted to be a Tiger. The New York Yankees hope he can be a little of both during their push for the playoffs.

On Sunday at Comerica Park, the 8 year old from Traverse City will do the hurling.

His swing has taken Fedorinchik's grandson, David Murphy, to the top. The strapping 6-foot-4, 205-pound Murphy is the starting center fielder for the Texas Rangers.

We saw both the good and the bad for the Detroit Tigers in Monday's season-opening loss to the Kansas City Royals. The good is obvious: this team can hit. Some baseball experts believe the Tigers will become one of the few teams in major league history to score 1,000 runs in a single season.

Some of the national baseball experts who were riding the Tigers' bandwagon this winter have now jumped off for that very reason.

Except this year's game at Comerica Park might have had even more sizzle than usual.

After the Tigers' blockbuster trade for third baseman Miguel Cabrera last December, Inge found himself without a job.

His ear-to-ear grin was hard to miss.
