The Tigs took a big step towards becoming World Series Champions tonight. In a bottom of the 9th Magglio Ordonez home run, the Detroit Tigers broke their 3-3 stalemate with the A's and won 6-3.
I am at WDIV tonight enjoying the atmosphere of the league champs as the town celebrates the win. We did our normal 6pm newscast and then waited for the final hit--the 3 run homer--before hitting the airwaves to do some post-game coverage. Things were rocky, but that's what makes live television great. It was so loud that the reporters really had a hard time hearing what I was trying to tell them.
I think I heard that World Series game tickets go on sale Monday morning and you can bet that I'm going to try (at least for an hour or so) to get my hands on a pair. I think that would be a unique experience.
Go Tigers!
