Let's play This Could Come True, as the latest issue of Crain's does.

It also uses a headline question mark above a short about "the latest round of speculation that . . . Dave Dombrowski is a candidate to become Major League Baseball's next commissioner."

Dave Dombrowski is president, CEO and general manager of the Tigers.

Current commissioner Allan "Bud" Selig, 79, announced this fall that he'll retire in January 2015, Crain's notes in its uncredited item.

Earlier talk of Dombrowski as his successor, the weekly notes, has come from Detroit News columnist Lynn Henning in 2011, ESPN's Jayson Stark in May and USA Today in September.

Dombrowski, a 57-year-old Western Michigan University grad (Class of '79), is the Tigers' president, CEO and general manager.
