Happy Thanksgiving!

Time to give thanks, eat turkey, watch football and take a tryptophan-induced nap. Today's football matchups include the Miami Dolphins at the Dallas Cowboys, the San Francisco 49ers at the Baltimore Ravens and the undefeated Green Bay Packers at the Detroit Lions. The Lions have played at home every Thanksgiving Day since 1934.

Tigers vs Orioles

We drove up to Detroit, Michigan last Saturday to see the Baltimore Orioles take on the Detroit Tigers. I've been an Orioles fan since childhood when we lived in Pennsylvania and could pick up Baltimore stations on television. That was more than 30 years ago and I had yet to see the Orioles play live.

Comerica Park opened in 2000 and is an absolute gem of a stadium.


Baltimore won 5-3!

Comerica is located right across the street from the Fox Theatre which was built in 1928.

WJR (W Jewett Radio & Phonographic Company--the original owners) is a 50,000-watt, class A clear channel station which carries a News/Talk format. They were the flagship station of the Detroit Tigers from 1964 until 2000.
