The big day is here! After years of waiting, the great “Sweet” Lou Whitaker will finally have his name retired and hoisted up on Comerica Park’s wall. The ceremony was originally set for 2020 to honor the second baseman but the COVID pandemic foiled those plans along with Bless You Boys’ meet-up event. Now two years later, both Lou and the crew will finally have their day in the sun.
As for the Detroit Tigers, the skies have been gloomy of late as the squad has dropped six of its last seven games, including the first two of a four-game home series against the Tampa Bay Rays.
