The Tiger Beat: The origins of “Kerry Bonds”

Happy Wednesday, BYB friends. We’re still feeling the glow of the win from yesterday, and we’ll need it to keep us warm through today’s game to wrap up the series against the Yankees. In our morning news wrap up we’ve got the genesis of Kerry Carpenter’s nickname (he added to the lore with a home run last night); a Twins ejection worth a watch; and then a more tragic piece of news as former Detroit Tigers’ reliever, among the 13 MLB teams he pitched for in his career, Octavio Dotel died following a nightclub collapse in the Dominican Republic.
