well, anyway

Sigh. Game 1 of the highly anticipated Twins-Tigers matchup was rained out Monday night. They’ll play a day-night doubleheader today at Comerica Park. The Tigers were, however, able to hold a pregame ceremony in the rain Monday honoring their 1984 championship team. Has it really been 25 years? There were a pair of Mississippi natives on that Detroit club. Left fielder Larry Herndon of Sunflower, who caught the final out in the 4-1 series win over San Diego, hit .333 over the five games, including a key two-run homer in a Game 1 victory. Jackson native Chet Lemon, one of the game’s best center fielders, hit .294.
