Detroit’s very own Selected of God Choir will perform the National Anthem for the Detroit Tigers playoff game against the New York Yankees when the Motown miracle team returns to Comerica Park this evening for a two game set against the Bronx Bombers. Selected of God starred in the Chrysler brand’s award-winning Super Bowl commercial “Born of Fire.”
The Tigers split the first two American League divisional series playoff games in New York, much to the surprise of the Yankees and their rowdy fans, and now need only two more victories (it’s best of five) to advance to the American League championship series.
It’s clear from to me from listening to the Turner Broadcast announcers – Turner has exclusive TV rights – that they know nothing about the Tigers, which – like the Detroit Three Automakers – are all having a great year – in the Tiger’s case as one of the best teams in major league baseball. Well, tonight the Turner crew will get to see what is probably only their third Tiger game, ever. It won’t be their last…
Hey! If the Yankees lose tonight, my baseball season is over. (And it only started with Game 1)!
Very nicely said! Thank you Ken!
