In 1984, I was living in the Detroit area and got free admission to Tigers games as an active duty military member. I went to 40 games in 1984, sitting in the left field grandstand about 10 rows back - saw a lot of Trammell and Whitaker from a distance, Willie Herndon up close. One of my best friends stepped in front of me to catch a Trammell home run, and we rushed home to see it on the 11:00 news. Great times. Then they moved us to an ugly corner of right field grandsatnd, and it just wasn't the same.
8-0, 13-1, 35-5, Morris's no hitter, Ernie Harwell calling the games on WJR - Seems so long ago . . . the big 0-9, 0-12 just doesn't have the same magic.
