The Detroit Tigers hadn't had a must-see performer in nearly a decade — not since Miguel Cabrera was in his prime. They have one now. More proof was in the stands Thursday, June 19, at Comerica Park, where more than 33,000 sat in the rain to watch Tarik Skubal pitch Game 1 — nearly 5,000 more than showed up to the second game of the day’s doubleheader ... under pure blue sky ... after work.

The Detroit Tigers are currently contenders for the World Series, boasting the best record in the American League. Detroit's other major sports teams, the Lions and Pistons, are also showing promise and potential for championship runs. While the Tigers have a strong chance, the Lions are favored to break Detroit's 17-year title drought. The Detroit Tigers had a hiccup recently, losing a home series for only the second time this season, as the Cincinnati Reds took two of three from June 13-15.

I keep a jar of pennies on my desk. It’s made of glass and shaped like an old-fashioned milk bottle, only in miniature. Its yellow-hued label is faded and reads: “Half Pint,” though you can still read the fine print near the bottom. The jar, capped with a rusty top and a slot in its middle, like a piggy bank, was made in Goshen, Indiana — roughly 30 miles southeast of South Bend. But the coin jar was given away as part of a promotion at Brooks Field National Bank in San Antonio.

Gleyber Torres' one-year deal with the Tigers is proving beneficial for both the player and the team. His decision to sign with Detroit highlights the organization's focus on player development and winning culture. Torres' presence provides support for younger players and adds to the team's offensive strength. Former Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres bet on himself when he signed with the Detroit Tigers in December. The Tigers bet on him too. More and more, it looks like both sides won.

It's a blow, no doubt. A big one. And why not? Frank Ragnow is a big man. The man in the middle, quite literally. Now he’s gone. Off to retirement, to the lake, to his fishing rods, to his health, and pain-free mornings, hopefully. Good for him. Not so good for the Lions, whose road to the Super Bowl just got harder. There's time to ponder that, though. For now, Ragnow deserves to be celebrated.

Marcus Erwin walked outside. Downtown rose across the freeway. The QLINE rang its bell as it rolled down Woodward Avenue. Erwin stopped, looked up, and inhaled. Then started walking again, disappearing into the city lights: https://t.co/4kHyc9Mx8S
“I had a come-to-Jesus meeting with myself,” Tom Izzo said earlier this week. “I told myself: ‘I’ve got to get back to who I am.’ ” He didn’t want to change. He wanted to adapt. He has spent the last year mining that subtle difference: https://t.co/rPMcgpt4Sn
