  1. Looking forward to this write up. I went to 7-8 Evansville games in their last 2 years. Interesting and historic ballpark.

  2. The Detroit Tigers last won a World Series in 1984, their last year with an affiliate in Evansville. They will never win another one until the Evansville Triplets return to their rightful place at Bosse Field. It is the Curse of Pat Underwood, and it is nonnegotiable.
