I still believe there are some old die hards who remember George Kell and his nickname (George Swell) given to him by a Detroit radio DJ. He had that lovely Southern Arkansas accent that could lull you to sleep on a hot lazy summer afternoon as you listened or watched to the Tigers at Michigan and Trumball. The score didn't matter.
London once had an undying love for the Tigers which seems to have wavered in the past few decades. Somehow this major league City lead the Tigers Double A Affiliate slip through their fingers for lack of fan interest.
There also seems to be little fan interest in the Blue Jays since their World Series years ended. If you would like to relive those years for a few hours do what I did a few years back. Go to Joe Kools. The photos on the wall will take you back to the glory years of both teams.
