Tigers hope bats warm up
DETROIT – Toting his tiny aluminum bat, 5-year-old Gage Brookens wandered toward the cage and watched Austin Jackson, Omar Infante and a few other Tigers take batting practice on a chilly afternoon at Comerica Park.
Maybe that’s what these slumping Detroit hitters need in this World Series. Metal bats, rather than their weak wood.
“Oh, I don’t know if they’d allow that,” kidded Gage’s grandpop, Tigers first base coach Tom Brookens. “But the hitters definitely wouldn’t mind.”
