Detroit Tigers Tickets - Get On The Bus & Ride!

Comerica Park is quiet for now but soon enough this year's TigerFest will be the signal of one of the largest Winter Caravan's in the Detroit Tigers' history. With Detroit temperatures freezing people in the downtown area in their tracks and the Tigers' less than enthusiastic season last year, some people may think twice about heading downtown on the 24th.

But for die hard Tigers' fans, it's only a matter of time. And you can safely say the Tigers are anxious to get their prowl on around the town and into Ohio for a Winter Caravan that's planned to make at least 20 stops during their three day, 2-bus tours.

Appearances are planned by players Clay Rapada, Eddie Bonine, Ryan Raburn, Marcus Thames, Brent Clevlen, Jeff Larish, Michael Holliman, Chris Lambert, Clete Thomas and broadcaster Mario Impemba.

The Metro Bus and the West Bus, as this year's Tigers' Winter Caravan busses have been coined, will be making various stops at destinations galore. The Metro Bus will be visiting Dearborn's The Henry Ford To DMC Childrens Hospital, the American Red Cross and Detroit's Fire Academy Training Center. The west bus will begin with a rally in Kalamazoo at Western Michigan University and travel to locations such as Spring Arbor University and Albion College.

Seats on the Metro Bus will be occupied by assistant GM Al Avila, coaches Jeff Jones, Andy Van Slyke and Rafael Belliard, and Fernando Rodney, Matt Treanor, Freddy Dolsi, Bobby Seay, Wilkin Ramirez, Casper Wells, Kyle Bloom, Armando Galarraga and Gerald Laird.

Although it remains to be seen how the Tigers will fair once baseball season starts, Spring Training in Lakeland, Florida, which starts in late February, should certainly be a welcome change from the frigid temperatures and the continuing blizzard-like snow falls that have been making this winter season in Detroit and surrounding areas one that is colder and less desirable than usual, even for native Detroiters who are used to Michigan winters.

FYI, the Tigers have been hosted by Lakeland for 73 years; the longest standing relationship of any major league team and Spring Training host. Nearly as long is the team's 44-year history of exhibition games at the Joker Marchant Stadium, which is also in Lakeland, Florida.

Spring Training officially begins for the Tigers on February 25 when the Tigers will face off against the Atlanta Braves.

The usual line up of broadcasters will be on hand as well. Jim Price will be returning for his 15th season. Dan Dickerson, who joined the Tigers in 2000 will be accounted for along with Rod Allen, who is returning for his fifth season.

The Tigers have recently signed talent but have yet to find their closer. One serious consideration is Jason Isringhauser, whose agent is in talks about a potential contract. Isringhauser could be a welcome addition, bringing 293 saves and being 22nd on the all-time list. The only possible down side would be the fact that Isringhauser just had elbow surgery in September.
