DETROIT - "That boy is just country strong."
"I see ya, big fella."
"Oh no he didn't"
If you've watched a decent amount of Detroit Tigers' baseball, you know who those quotes belong to. None other than former Tigers player and current Fox Sports Detroit Analyst Rod Allen.
Love him or hate him, he and longtime partner Mario Impemba have served as the Tigers main play-by-play broadcasters for 12 years. Former Tigers great Kirk Gibson has also been on the mic in recent years.
