                                                                           Memory Lane  











     It's 2017, and Max Scherzer continues to be one of the best Pitchers in all of MLB (Major League Baseball).  Scherzer pitched for the Detroit Tigers from 2010-2014, but the team failed to resign him.  Scherzer currently pitches in the National League for the Washington Nationals.  He's been an All-Star every season since leaving Detroit, he threw 2 no-hitters in 2015, and he won the Cy Young Award last season.  Scherzer even tied the MLB record for strikeouts in a 9 inning game with 20.  That feat came against the Detroit Tigers last season.  The Tigers didn't win a World Series with Max Scherzer, but they were certainly closer to winning one with him, then they are now without him.

Memory Lane: Pudge

                                                                    Memory Lane


                                                             Ivan "Pudge" Rodriguez


                                                                    Memory Lane











     The Detroit Tigers were a struggling franchise in the 1990's, and through the turn of the century.  The Tigers signed Ivan "Pudge" Rodriguez for the 2004 season, and the team began to show signs of life.  The Tigers reached the World Series in 2006 with Rodriguez behind the dish.  Pudge was a big time free agent that lived up to the hype unlike the disappointing prior deals that the Tigers worked out with superstars like Juan Gonzalez, Hideo Nomo, and Dean Palmer.  Ivan Rodriguez played in the MLB (Major League Baseball) All-Star Game as a Detroit Tiger in 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007.  The Tigers traded Pudge to the New York Yankees in 2008 for relief Pitcher Kyle Farnsworth.
