Baseball Notes

Suddenly after 7 non split squad wins at their winter home in Lakeland, Florida the Detroit Tigers have lost two consecutive Lakeland games in as many days.

The teams that won were the opponents in the last real baseball season’s (no wild card teams) World Series in 1993.

They are the Philadelphia Phillies and Toronto Blue Jays.

Toronto won that World Series in six games, the ending coming on Joe Carter’s three run home run.
