Tigers and Wings

Saturday Gary and I went to the Tiger's game. We had pretty good seats, right by the foul pole along the first baseline. To say it was hot would be an understatment (not that I'm complaining) but luckily our seats were in the shade for most of the game so we were able to escape getting scorched by the sun.

Kris Draper and Brian Rafalski from the Red Wings threw out two of the many "first" pitches and they brought the Stanley Cup with them to show off to the crowd.

After the game we headed over to Cheli's Chili Bar across from the stadium, Chris Chelios from the Red Wings owns the place. We had heard rumors from the people sitting in front of us at the game that a few of the players were over there with the cup.

Sure enough, most of the team was there! There were letting people drink out of the Cup and spraying the crowd with champagne. If I knew what was going on we would have probably gotten a chance to drink out of it (gross if you think about it) but it all happened so fast. Plus I'm not a big fan of crowds either. We were able to get a few good pictures though.

Spraying down the crowd with champagne. I can't imagine how many bottles they went through!
