Detroit: Worst year in sports ever

[SSVDP]

I think ‘78 & ‘79 could have been worse due to a really bad Michigan Stags pro hockey team (cool jersey’s though) and a really sad pro Soccer team.

Sad data: Detroit had worst calendar year in history of American sports

I should have a lion's Jersey somewhere
I believe it has number 16 on it, Owen
That's right...Owen 16

I had 4 Tigers signed balls in a case. Al Kaline was one of 'em. Cant remember the others.

YIKES!! Worst record percentage for ANY city since the start of pro sports in North America! That’s just sad! Sorry Detroit fans. And here I think it’s horrible that the Broncos haven’t made the playoffs in 4 years.

Al Kaline.... dang, my favorite of all time! So did you grow up there?

Yes.... I have changed tactics to help the pain of watching the Red Wings. I am now counting the number of consecutive losses between wins.... if that number goes down, I consider that progress LOL

The return of Yzerman should help.
