July 5, 201114 yr Just for you, Hawkeroo. Brandon Inge can: High jump 6'6" Dunk a basketball Kick a sixty-yard field goal Throw a baseball over 100 yards on a football field Hit a scrappy/grindy .199 with 1 homer and still be the fan favorite in Tiger Town
July 5, 201114 yr goes back, looks up you can put it on the board Can of Corn Thats a humpback liner Gaaaas dont tell me what you hit. Tell me when you hit it
July 5, 201114 yr Author http://www.heavethehawk.com/Hawkisms.html That's a pretty darned good list. Forgot about Matt Abattacola. "Stretch, stretch, stretch" has to be right up there. Dadgummit. He's up there cutting and slashing. (Or was that Paciorek?) I can't remember if it was Warren The Deacon Newson or Paco Martin. What was the one he always used when Ozuna was up or running through the bag throwing his arms out and calling himself safe? I love to watch Ray run. Edited July 5, 201114 yr by caulfield12
July 5, 201114 yr I'm not sure what to think of that list. I feel like some of those are pretty plausible, and then some are pretty unlikely, like his high jump and especially kicking a 60-yard FG.

July 5, 201114 yr Author QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 01:47 AM) Most Tigers fans generally hate Brandon Inge. Maybe he's lost some of his appeal in the last two seasons because of his offensive ineptitude, but when I last went to a Tigers game, he was clearly the fan favorite. I guess that was April or May of 2009. Now it's obviously Verlander with nobody else even close. But I always thought of him as kind of like Joe Crede or Aaron Rowand in terms of his fanclub membership.
July 5, 201114 yr Why wouldn't Miguel Cabrera be a fan favorite? Because of his drunk driving record?
July 5, 201114 yr QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 01:47 AM) Most Tigers fans generally hate Brandon Inge. I don't think you could be more wrong... Brandon Inge is one of the better guys in professional sports, as far as I am concerned. He does extensive work with sick children and the children's hospitals in the Detroit area. Linky The fans recognize this and he is indeed a fan favorite because of it.

Yeah, every Tigers fan I know loves Inge. Hell, I even like Inge.
July 6, 201114 yr Author And I forgot one: He can drive a golf ball 400 yards. He's supposedly a very good golfer.
July 6, 201114 yr Brandon Inge once caught Bigfoot, but felt bad for ruining people's life goals of catching him and thus, released him. True story.

I've lived in Michigan for more 4 years now for school. Everyone acknowledges he's a nice guy off the field, but most hate him. The girl fans think he's awesome, the guy fans dislike him a lot. He's kind of a terrible baseball player.
July 6, 201114 yr For years he was loved in the Ann Arbor/Detroit area (lived there for 5 years). But his inability to hit has caught up to him and the lvoe that the fans have for him. I do remember an article would come out every spring training about how athletic Inge is, they say underneath his uniform is a football body, nobody would dare fight him, he's the most athletic player on the team if not the majors, etc. Reporters and players raved about how in shape he was.
July 6, 201114 yr Anybody have any interesting info about Chris Shelton? Edited July 6, 201114 yr by Leonard Zelig

July 6, 201114 yr Author Must have been 2004-2006, somewhere in that time period. The kid who played 1B for the Pirates the last couple of seasons kind of reminded me of him. Flash in the pan. Kevin Maas, Shane Spencer, etc.
