I hear you. I am just a sports junkie so I watch it all and love going to the Final Four every year, but my team is the Tigers.

Subject: Re: Nate Robertson: Wed Jan 23, 2008 10:40 am

I think because I grew up with it. We went to Kansas City Royals games in the early 70s.

Yea, I never care as much who wins except when the Tigers and Yankees play (of course I am cheering for the team playing the Yanks - they are my 2nd favorite team)

Subject: Re: Nate Robertson: Wed Jan 23, 2008 10:50 am

I don't think I explained that well...I care about the Tigers no matter who they play and cheer for anyone playing the yanks.

Subject: Re: Nate Robertson: Wed Jan 23, 2008 10:53 am

got it!

Tigers' Robertson to give clinic at new training center
Tim Twentyman / The Detroit News

Detroit Tigers pitcher Nate Robertson and University of Michigan softball coach Carol Hutchins will be on hand for the grand opening of the Varsity Shop Training Center in Bloomfield Township on Sunday. Robertson will perform a free pitching clinic from 2-2:30 p.m. and will sign autographs from 2:30-3.

The Varsity Shop Training Center is a new 11,000-square foot sports training and instruction facility. It includes 9,500-square foot turfed practice area, as well as five full-size batting cage nets, four pitching machines, Little League and high school pitching mounds, four fully-equipped warm-up stations, and practice accessories.

"I grew up in Kansas and I think it wasn't until I was in high school that we had an indoor facility to use," Robertson said Thursday. "Obviously, there is a need for them in places like Kansas and Michigan, so kids can stay sharp.

"I wanted to play catch today and it's 12 degrees outside."

Professional baseball and softball instructors are on site at the new training center.

"I was a baseball geek when I was a kid. Now I have three kids and I have caught the baseball bug again," said co-owner Marc Secontine, who also runs the family-owned Varsity Shop in Birmingham, a sporting goods store. "If you build a facility like we have -- they will come."

The facility can be used for team practices or individual workouts. Membership is required, but there is no fee to become a member. Membership can be obtained by visiting www.thevarsityshoptrainingcenter.com or the facility at 2085-B Franklin Road.

The grand opening will also be broadcast live at the Training Center by 97.1 FM "The Ticket" featuring Pat Caputo.

Thank You!

That gives Nate an extra mil to spend on his attire; Perhaps he can even buy some suits like CBC's Don Cherry wears.

And the high collared shirts to match

Son's arrival delays Robertson's first appearance
Tom Gage / The Detroit News

LAKELAND, Fla. -- Nate Robertson's first start of the spring is being pushed back a day. But there couldn't be a better reason. He's become a father for the first time.

Robertson's wife, Kristin, gave birth to a son, Wyatt Dale (6 pounds, 14 ounces) at 1:23 am Thursday morning.

Virgil Vasquez started in Robertson's place against the Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday.

Robertson will make his first appearance Friday against Toronto following Justin Verlander's start.
