Tigers Minor League Baseball Blog

Here are a few trivia questions to think about for the weekend. What state produced Larry Legend, the toast of French Lick? Where does the “little five” take place? Gene Hackman portrayed Coach Norman Dale in a film about which state championship game? And lastly, what state is home to two, class A minor league baseball teams who have managed to put the Whitecaps in a state of misery? If you haven’t guessed Indiana yet then you honestly don’t read the homepage of this website too much. The state of Indiana has not been to kind to our team this past eight days, in particular the cities of South Bend and Ft. Wayne. So far we have yet to figure out what it is we need to change in our game plan to find a win somewhere in the Hoosier state. Could it be the hours of television watching in the hotels, or the road food I am ever so fond of? No, because we are all fairly accustomed to living like vagabonds (this is understood when you sign any minor league contract). Or maybe part of this is my fault after trying to explain how well we are going to play in the second half of the season. Baseball gods, if you are reading this, I am sorry. It all comes back to karma, and I will never do anything to derail that train again. Home has never looked so good as it does right now, and I don’t care if we play every team from Indiana for the rest of the season as long as it isn’t on the road.
