1984, A Very Good Year

The Detroit Tigers are the Major League Baseball team in Metro-Detroit, Michigan.

Tigers are cats, yes?

Then I'm going to go all fangirl on you, as I had the supreme opportunity to be in the presence of the 1984 World Series winning catcher for our team, Lance Parrish.

He and his co-author Tom Gage spoke to a crowd of adoring fans about their book "The Enchanted Season" at our local library.

In 1984, my family and friends were crazy about the Detroit Tigers, who had the best start of any team in baseball history, and battled their way to win the World Series.

Lance Parrish was a favorite of every female in town, as he was tall, handsome, and built like a god.

In person in August, 2025, he is gregarious, amusing, happy to talk to his fans, and the crowd gave the love right back and more.

He's still looking pretty good!

Another box ticked on my life's 'to-do' list!

Am so very thankful for the opportunity to relive that wonderful year, to chat with other old-time Tiger enthusiasts, put eyes on an idol of mine, and it's a pretty good book also.
