Tigers gear flies off store shelves, outsells World Series opponent's wares.
The Detroit Tigers return home this weekend for Game 3 of the World Series down 0-2 against the San Francisco Giants, but the team's merchandise sales continue to ride a hot streak. The Tigers are No. 2 in Major League Baseball in merchandise sales, behind the New York Yankees, whom the Tigers swept in the American League Championship Series, and just ahead of the Giants, according to the Detroit News. The sales give the Tigers an 11 percent market share of MLB merchandise sales, compared with the Yankees' 33 percent and the Giants' 7 percent, the report said. Employees at Fanatic U say the biggest sellers amongst Tigers merch has been the locker room T-shirts players sported after winning the ALCS, and the official playoff hoodies worn …

Tigers mania has reached a fever pitch in Metro Detroit as the Detroit Tigers and San Francisco Giants do battle in the World Series.

The Tigers last played in the World Series in 2006 and took the title in 1984.
The Detroit Tigers are headed to the World Series for the first time since 2006, seeking their first championship since 1984. The Tigers swept the New York Yankees on Thursday in a 8-1 Game 4 win in the teams' best-of-seven American League Championship Series to advance to the World Series.

Confident chatter about a power lineup is heard before Opening Day – and not just locally.
For baseball fans everywhere, this week is brightened by the gleam of a fresh season -- 162 games stretching into early fall. Nothing is in the way of "maybe this year" confidence. For Detroit Tigers fans, optimism rises from solid ground as the team relocates from Marchant Stadium in Lakeland, FL, to Comerica Park for Thursday's opener against Boston. Last year's Central Division champions, who fell two games short of reaching the World Series, have gained power hitter Prince Fielder. His addition to the lineup fuels headlines like this one Sunday in The New York Times: Tigers Poised to Break Through. "Predicting a champion is wildly imperfect . . . but these Tigers have that look," Times sportswriter Tyler Kepner observes. "In [Miguel] …

Trenton native and former Trojan Anthony Bass, 23, rookie pitcher for the San Diego Padres, has earned the second-lowest earned run average for a rookie in Padres pitching history, according to a story in the Wayne State University newspaper The South End. “Humbling,” Bass said in The South End, when asked of his achievement. “If you were to tell me I would have the second lowest ERA of a pitcher in the history of the Padres I would have said you’re crazy. I am very proud of what I have accomplished to this point.” Bass was called up by the Padres in June from the San Antonio Missions in Double-A, where he had posted a 6-3 record. He made his major-league debut in a game against the Colorado Rockies in which he pitched five innings of five…
