I've only left one of these around so far, but I've started carrying them in my purse so they're handy.

#50: Go to 3 Tigers games

Completed 09.03.11

My mom bought Robert and I tickets to a Tigers game for his birthday. It was a crazy game! The seats were really good, but....well, this was the game time temperature:



It was pretty miserable...hot, humid, sticky. But, we were sweatin' through it and enjoying the game nonetheless. We were down 8 to 1 at one point, it was looking pretty bleak, but I didn't loose the faith because I assert that the Tigers have never lost a game that we attended. Robert says we went to one where they lost, but he can't remember any specifics, and I don't remember it (I have the better memory of the two of us...he barely has one at all), so I don't believe it happened. We started to make a comeback, 8-5, when all of a sudden, the skies filled with dark clouds, the air was completely still, and we were treated to aerial views of massive dances of lightning across the sky to the South of us. The crowd's loud cheers of "OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH" no longer coincided with plays in the game, but rather with the flashes of lightning. And then...well....


With the Tigers down by 4, and the sudden coldness of the air, our tummies rumblin' for dinner, and the prospect of waiting 40+ minutes before the game could start up again, we left. We drove to Pita Cafe (represent!) for dinner, with Robert following updates from the game all the way there on his phone. Tigers kept scoring and scoring, and just as we were about to the restaurant, Cabrera had a walk-off homerun, the Tigers won 9-8. Crazy, right?

Also, you will notice in the photo at the top, my favorite Tigers shirt to wear is a hand-me-down from my brother, from the last time the Tigers won the World Series, in 1984. Meaning, the have yet to win the world series while I've been alive! (Born 1985) Also meaning, the shirt is absolutely falling apart, with holes surrounding all of the lettering. You can see some in the photo. I wore a tank top underneath the shirt, but Robert still said I looked like a hobo, and I had to bring a shirt to change into for dinner. The joke was on him when I had a dry shirt to change into and he didn't! Anyways, he got me a new favorite Tigers shirt for my birthday...awwww. It's super comfy and cute and I'm sportin' it often now that the tigies are in the playoffs. In fact, I'm wearing it right now!!
