They can do something special every time they win or lose 5-3 at least.
Longtime Tiger fans will recognize that as the score of the pivotal game of the 1968 World Series.

It is interesting to think about the generation of fans who know only Dan Dickerson on the radio and Comerica Park, and whose peak Tigers experience was the Leyland/Verlander/Cabrera era. The name change is probably hitting them the hardest.

I've been amused by those on social media that proclaimed "It'll always be Comerica Park to me!", as if that wasn't a bullshit corporate name itself.

Who's going to see JV's swan song tomorrow? Standing room only.

Some commenters feel the name is appropriate because the Tigers usually finish in fifth place to third place within their division. :)

I will be there. I did not buy tickets specifically to see JV; we always had this game in our season-ticket package.

Before JV was announced as the Saturday starter, I looked into switching our tickets to Friday in order to get the JV bobblehead. Glad I didn't follow through on it; I'd rather just see him pitch than add to my excessive bobblehead collection.
