Including any playoff or World Series game..the pure emotion and love for the game that poured out of everyone in attendance or watching equaled the love Miggy showed for the game of baseball and his millions of fans.
Truly was a class act by the Tigers organization and A.J. … from letting his kids announce his first plate appearance to the first plate play. Just an amazing game.
