New Tigers season helps a son celebrate a mom who loved the team like she loved Detroit

For true baseball fans, there is no greater excitement than when the home team is in serious contention for a championship throughout the entire marathon-like Major League Baseball season stretching from April through October. 
During these instances, sometimes the excitement experienced by a superfan extends beyond geographic borders. The seemingly never-ending fun also has been known to spill over and touch the lives of the fan’s family members in unexpected ways, creating cherished memories and an osmosis of fandom that can last a lifetime, reignited and re-lived each year: This is the magic of Opening Day.
