The day in which the Detroit Tigers open their home schedule for the season is always a big deal in Michigan. Many people take the day off of work (or take a half-day off) to either attend the game in person, or watch the game at a local establishment or at home on TV. It has become, as the title of this article suggests, an unofficial state holiday.
The Detroit Tigers rarely make it to the World Series. It's even more rare they win the World Series Championship. They did win in 1935, 1945, 1968 & 1984.
Late last night, a little after the midnight hour, Hell froze over. Reports of pigs and other assorted swine growing wings and taking flight started pouring in from all over the country. Dogs and cats were living together — it was mass hysteria, all because the Chicago Cubs had finally won the World Series after a 108-year drought.
Every single person who attends the World Series this year between the Cleveland Indians and the Chicago Cubs will be sitting in a seat that was made right here in Grand Rapids.
All of the seats in both Wrigley Field and Progressive Field were made by American Seating...
We now know who will be playing in this year's World Series!
Last Wednesday, the Cleveland Indians took the title of American League Champs by stopping Toronto Blue Jays 4 games to 1.
On Saturday night, the Chicago Cubs stopped the L.A. Dodgers 4 games to 2 to win the National League Championship.
