1968 Heisman Trophy Winner and Pro Football Hall of Famer O.J. Simpson has passed away at the age of 76 due to a battle with cancer, according to his family.
We are now two weeks into the Major League Baseball season. And unlike previous seasons, the Detroit Tigers are off to a good start. I think it's fair to say that 7-4 after 11 games is a good start. Not a great start, but a good one.
The day in which the Detroit Tigers open their home schedule for the season is always a big deal in Michigan. Many people take the day off of work (or take a half-day off) to either attend the game in person, or watch the game at a local establishment or at home on TV. It has become, as the title of this article suggests, an unofficial state holiday.
