The Tigers organization doesn't have a lot to be feel great about this season.
But here's an act of goodness to feel good about .
Lynn Henning of Detroit News reports:
A baseball complex known to Detroit Tigers fans for its spring serenity and pastoral setting has turned into an escape route for those in the path of Hurricane Irma’s demolition.
Tigertown’s clubhouses in Lakeland, Fla., already are filling with families that will use its windowless, concrete walls as protection against winds that could, even in central Florida’s interior, surpass 100 mph.
Refrigerated trucks are filled with 4-5 days of provisions necessary to feed families, staffers, players and, most of all, first-responders who will be charged with clean-up and safety after the storm’s greatest intensity arrives, according to best weather estimates, about 2:30 a.m. Monday.
