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.
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.
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.
