Fastball Flakes - They're Grrrreat!!

Andrew Norton

For a limited time you can purchase Justin Verlander's Fastball Flakes at a Meijer store in the Detroit, Lansing, Grand Rapids, and Kalamazoo areas. 100% of the proceeds go to the John D. Dingell VA Medical Center in Detroit and to the VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System. Not in any of those markets listed above? Order online at www.plbsports.com where they even have a "Fastball Flakes" t-shirt ($15) or t-shirt and cereal combo ($18) available if you want more than just the standard 2-pack of Fastball Flakes cereal ($10).

I wonder if our local Meijer has any? Otherwise it looks like a Kalamazoo road trip is in my future :).

Justin Verlander Pitches the Detroit Tigers First No-Hitter since 1984

Andrew Norton

This is not a sports blog, but a no-hitter in baseball does not come along too often. A no-hitter by a Tigers pitcher comes along even less frequently. Last night Justin Verlander pitched a No-Hitter against the Milwaukee Brewers. Here is a list of all of the No-Hitters pitched by the Detroit Tigers over the years via my Detroit Tigers page:

George Mullin 7/14/1912 Virgil Trucks 5/15/1952* Virgil Trucks 8/25/1952* Jim Bunning 7/20/1958 Jack Morris 4/7/1984 Justin Verlander 6/12/2007

*Interesting to note that in 1952 those two no-hitters that Virgil Trucks pitched would be 2 of his 5 wins for the year. He had a 5-19 record in 1952.

Watch the top of the 9th inning (I got chills watching the last three outs) -
