Detroit — Not to get all Book Club here, but in one of John Steinbeck's literary jewels, Of Mice and Men, there is a moment when George and Lennie are talking about an idyllic life on a picket-fence California farm, where they can "live off the fat of the land" and, if they want to, go to a ballgame, just for the pure and simple bliss of it.
It's the last phrase that came to mind Thursday at Comerica Park.
The Tigers beat the Twins, 3-1, on one of those 81-degree June days everyone dreams about during Michigan's winter.
