“TIGERS DEBATE OF
ALL DEBATES”
December 4, 2013
MGM Grand Casino
Which World Championship Tiger team, the '68
Tigers managed by Mayo Smith, or the '84 Tigers under Sparky, was the better
team? It's a question that's been debated for almost 30 years.
The only way to answer that question is to get the players together from
both those teams. That's exactly what's being planned in Detroit. Here are the details:
WHAT: THE TIGERS
SHOWDOWN IN MOTOWN!
A great
evening of dining, storytelling, memorabilia, autographs, raffles, and auction
items, with stars of two Tigers World Series Championship teams.
WHO: It's the '68
Tigers, led by HOFER Al Kaline, 31 game winner Denny McLain, Slugger
Willie Horton, and (just added) Super Sub Tom Matchick, and Reliever Jon Warden
VS. the '84 Tigers, led
by Sluggers Darrell Evans and Lance Parrish, and Starting Pitchers
Dan Petry and Dave Rozema. Other names may be added in the future. It's an
All-Star cast unlike anything you've seen in years! Author Eli Zaret will MC
the debate and the storytelling (and maybe a few lies). You'll hear wild tales
you never heard before!
When: This never-to-be-forgotten event will be held on Wednesday, December 4. The
"Meet and Greet" with Cash Bar will begin at 6PM, followed by dinner,
an incredible auction, the great debate and storytelling, and the end of the
auction.
Where: MGM Grand Hotel,
located at 1777 Third St. in Detroit, a couple of Cabrera home runs east of old
Tiger Stadium where these teams made history.
Why: To honor our heroes and to relive those great moments from the
past. All profits support our injured military heroes and their families, as
well as the USA Military All-Star Baseball Team.
Cost: Individual Tickets
Cost $150 per person, and include one autograph per Tiger, subject
to availability. Depending on demand, additional autographs may be available
for a donation; all autograph proceeds are for our military heroes. Cost also
includes a delicious buffet dinner at the MGM. Group tickets and sponsorships
are also available; see the attached for details.
No guarantees, but we expect other celebrities also to appear at the
event.
