About The Daily Fungo

Hey, and welcome back to The Daily Fungo. It’s been a while.

If you’re new here, thanks for visiting.

This blog launched in March 2006, which was about as good as it gets in terms of the Tigers’ renaissance converging with blogs becoming a viable thing.

For a few years there was a podcast too. Yes. In 2006. 


This is the original logo, crafted by my pal, the extraordinary Bret Ward.

The site kept chugging along, with varying degrees of posting and general TLC, until 2014. Or was it 2017?

Along the way I discovered that as much as I enjoy following the current Tigers, my heart and interest will always be with those clubs from my youth — from 1977, when I attended my first game at Tiger Stadium, to 1994-ish.


The current logo, circa 2013, designed by the gifted Chris Baltzer.

That’s the sweet spot for this new incarnation of The Daily Fungo: 1970s and ’80s, with some ’90s and other dark times too.

Oh, and with a few exceptions, I’ll also keep each day’s post short, like 250-words short.

Go Tigers.
