Hi everyone -
Wow, just how bloody cool is this!! Not only a great looking Tigers forum... but a great looking Tigers forum with a whole bunch of music fans! My two great interests in life are baseball and music, so I can't wait to get active around here.
I live in England, yeh there are some Tigers fans in the UK believe me. I've been a Tigers fan since 1992 when on my only visit to Detroit on holiday I saw 2 games at the old Tiger Stadium (against the White Sox) I've never been back to Detroit since though I have family all over Canada and been visiting Canada since 1979, since the Expos and Jays always did nothing for me I guess I just took the next closest team to the US/Canadian border I have an ambition to visit Comerica Park one day soon. I also like the Rays, been to Tampa a couple times.
I watch lots of games on-line on MLB.TV though it sometimes gets late due to the 5 hour time difference between UK and US.
Anyway nice to be here, talk to you fellas later, cheers from England

It's good to have a third guy from Europe here! We start to close the gap!

Hey, nobody scared me off!! I just work long and weird hours about 6 time-zones apart from most of you, and I have 2 kids who want to spend 24/7 on MSN IM chatting to their friends, so it's not always easy getting on here LOL. There seems to be some really friendly people here, so thanx and I look forward to the 2008 season posting here, great board _________________
