The Tiger Beat: A Hall of Fame Weekend

A big day in Cooperstown.

Happy Monday everyone! And happy it is, as the Tigers finally broke their losing streak. Having not won a game since last Sunday against the Rangers, the Tigers managed to avoid a streak in Toronto, winning their game Sunday evening 10-4. This feels like a breath of fresh air after a very dismal week, and Tigers fans are certainly hoping it doesn’t indicate that the team can only win games on Sunday. We’ll find out this week as the Tigers invite the Diamondbacks to town starting tonight.

In other baseball news, the annual Hall of Fame induction ceremony in Cooperstown took place this weekend, with Ichiro Suzuki, CC Sabathia, Billy Wagner, Dave Parker, and Dick Allen were inducted (families of the last two were present to accept the awards).

Let’s get right into today’s news.
