Detroit Tigers' PRINCE FIELDER Sports New Detroit Baseball Jersey; Signs Major Contract

It's official: Prince Fielder is now a part of Detroit Tigers legacy.

The resilient Detroit Tigers is on a move to win, and with several stellar baseball players such as Justin Verlander and Victor Martinez already on the team, Detroit native Prince Fielder will make Detroit baseball season EXPLOSIVE! Fielder signed a 9-year, $214 million contract with the Tigers and Ilitch Holdings ($22 million the first 2 years, then $24 million annually).

Check Fielder's new jersey (yes, it's FASHION, too). I might cop me one because Detroit Tigers will be having a Detroit Lions-like SURPRISE season, except they'll be winning the World Series! :-)

Beautiful wife CHANEL... photo doesn't do her justice.

Sparky Anderson

George Lee "Sparky" Anderson born on February 22nd, 1933 passed away November 4th 2010.

I grew up watching the Detroit Tigers and as long as I can remember he was the coach there. Before that he managed the National League's Cincinnati Reds to the 1975 and 1976, then added a third title in 1984 with the Detroit Tigers of the American League. Ol' Sparky was the first manager to win the World Series in both leagues. His 2,194 career wins are the sixth most for a manager in Major League history. He was named American League Manager of the Year in 1984 and 1987. Anderson was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2000.

Anderson was born in Bridgewater, South Dakota on February 22, 1934. He moved to Los Angeles when he was eight. He was a batboy for the USC Trojans. He attended Susan Miller Dorsey High School in Los Angeles, California. Upon graduating, he was signed by the Brooklyn Dogers as an amateur free agent in 1953.
One day after being placed into hospice care Sparky died from complications with Dementia.
