Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 1 - The Lou Whitaker version
Uhhh, that was a nice attempt by Revere, good, hard-nosed, and clean, and all that..............but if you're going to run the catcher over, you might at least want to be somewhat close to same size at the catcher in question.

Least surprising turn of events ever.
I think 513 of those have been against Detroit.

Especially the way Schlereth was headed. I said to myself about 2 pitches prior, "if he lobs one of those over the plate, we're gonna see it right here". Sure enough, boom.
From what I've heard and read, Jim Thome is one of the really good guys of the game. Oh, and by the way...........
IIRC the Twins announcers said 65 or so against the Tigers - it was in the 10% range.

Well, early on in Verlander's career, it seemed like he hit one on every at bat, and hit a few more from the on-deck circle. I think the first two years, if Verlander tried to throw one over the press box, Thome would find a way to hit it out.
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 1 - The Lou Whitaker version
Daniel Schlereth is now more famous than his dumb arse dad ever was as a football player. Although he can thank a certain superstar for his superbowl ring(s).
Also, from Freep. "According to baseball-reference.com, it was Thome's 65th homer off the Tigers -- more than any other team."

Yeah. I could have swore I remember Bremer talking about how he had more against the Royals recently. Maybe I did, and he was just wrong, which wouldn't really surprise me.
