Help The Tigers Make Payroll
We've all heard the rumor that our beloved Detroit Tigers had to secure a loan to meet payroll on July 15, 2002. That we could allow our beloved boys of summer to fall on such hard times is a travesty. However the Tigers seem like nice people and I'm sure they will let by gones be by gones if we all pitch in and help to make sure they've got the next pay period covered. Here are some ways you can help:
- Purchase as much Crazy Bread as you can eat.
Look, Michigan is one of the most fattest states in the Republic Now if we are gonna eat like pigs, lets put down the Big Macs, Hostess Cup Cakes, etc and eat some home grown junk food.
- Search through dumpsters for empty beer bottles. Since that beer probably wasn't purchased for $7.00 at Comerica Park the least we can do is collect the deposit and pass that dime onto the Tigers. Just think of all the empties we can retrieve by the next Tiger's pay period. Also if you see someone drinking a beer, tell them to buy it at Comerica Park next time.
- Spare change. Just think of all the spare change we collect on any given day. Save it and then send it to the Tigers. Also, ask people on the street for their change in order to make sure we can get every penny possible in the Tigers bank accounts for payday.
- Pay for an Orphanage to ride the Ferris Wheel. Not only would you be helping to support our beloved and impoverish baseball team but you'd be giving those kids one of life's greatest thrills...the Comerica Park Ferris Wheel!
- Offer to pitch batting practice. Hey BP costs money. If you donate your time, the Tigers don't have to pay for those expensive batting practice pitchers!
- If you live in another American League city perhaps you could offer to take in a player or two. That could save the Tigers thousands of dollars in hotel costs.
- For you wealthier types, there is alway the option of a donation. Just wip out that checkbook and send those poverty stricken owners and players some much needed money. After all, they're the real heroes.
Please send all donations to:
