When Baseball Was Fun

We have published our new web site number in the WBWF fall quarterly that was mailed
over the weekend, so here’s a big welcome to them all!
MIGUEL CABRERA WAS A GIGANTIC STEAL!
Remember back a few [...]

In this morning’s Free Press (8-27-09) Lynn Henning is writing about a “big
moment” in Wednesday’s heart breaking 4-2 loss to the Angels when the “mighty
Cabrera” struck out and Polanco was thrown out at third, he says: “IT WAS
A BIG MOMENT. GET READY FOR LOTS MORE OVER THE NEXT FIVE WEEKS——-

Up on our Moltke, Michigan farm my Grampa Hoeft voiced the following
words straight from his alert and philisophical mind:
“Bobby” he said, “In life you’ll find three kinds of men. There’re the ones who
can learn by observation and then there’s those who learn from reading.
AND THEN THERE’S THE REST OF THEM THAT HAVE TO LEARN BY [...]

We have written and called for a SPORTS WRITER WITH SOME BALLS!
WHY? Because at Comerica park a huge injustice is taking place aimed at two of the
greatest TIGERS EVER:
[...]

BELIEVE IT OR NOT, but, that’s how far back MLB has to go to find a lineup all
hitting over .300! And, guess what lineup that was? OUR OWN TIGERS. and here
they are: cf….jo jo [...]

The signing of AUBREY HUFF is just what the doctor ordered for the Tigers! What’s not to
like: the man has 72 rbi’s and that says it all. He will immediately take over the rbi team
leadership. And, his rbi’s come mostly in the CLUTCH!
Now there’s a switch for you. CLUTCH HITS are as [...]

Recently in the DETROIT FREE PRESS columnist Drew Sharp wrote the following: The
extensions Dombrowski gave Bonderman, Willis and Robertson were consistent with the
market value of players with their performance expectations.”
We can buy into that theory in the case of Willis and Bonderman, but ROBERTSON?? Mr.
Sharp is not too sharp with that observation. This southpaw [...]

Last nite (8-14-09) , thanks to Bobby Hoeft II, we attended our first game of the year down
at Comerica, AND IT WAS A “DOUZY”!
The hero was BRANDON INGE with his walk-off homer in the bottom of the ninth, which
sent the big crowd home slightly delerious…but, I’m sure if you’d ask JIM LEYLAND today
what the most [...]

The Tiger’s TV and radio announcers have said the following words: “THE TIGERS
THREATEN, BUT, DO NOT SCORE” over and over and over! We are as sick
of them as we are the ARBY’S FREE BEEF SANDWICH offer, and we are really so sick of
that one that we’ve sworn off of eating beef at least until the [...]

ALAN TRAMMEL:
“TRAM” will be named the next San Diego Padre’s manager. It will be a dream come
true for this lifetime WBWF subscriber.
C.C. SABATHIA:
The announcers were predicting that by the time this “tent” reaches his middle 30’s
he just might reach 300 wins. NEVER! With his present weight he won’t make it to 30.
Without [...]
