What is the story about?
Happy Friday, everyone. In case you missed it, the Tigers had one heck of an Opening Day against the Padres, with rookie phenom Kevin McGongile having an absolutely tremendous debut. The Tigers collected their first win of the season, and it’s a great way to kick things off.
Plenty of fun little tidbits from around baseball to keep you busy this morning, so we’ll just jump right into the good stuff, including the return of a Tigers’ YouTube series and a national interview with Jason Benetti. Plus,
the Pope clearly has favorites when it comes to the AL Central.
