sorry, there's a Fifth Third Bank and I'm supposed to believe it's a reputable institution in the real world and not Busytown?
Tigers and Fifth Third Bank have a press conference scheduled for this afternoon at Comerica Park, where they’re expected to announce what Comerica Park will be known as going forward.
Comerica Bank and Fifth Third Bank merged earlier this year.

Truly nothing better than getting home from vacation on a Friday. A weekend to recover from travel, and do laundry, and get groceries? With a fully regrown brain? The height of luxury!

Remember when you’d have a substitute teacher as a kid and they’d try to assert their authority in some heavy-handed way and lose the class?
The Cardinals, in response to home-plate umpire Doug Eddings telling rookie Hancel Rincon to fix his hat last night, all wore tipped caps in their dugout tonight.
The Rockies did, as well, after Eddings claimed Hunter Goodman asked for Rincon to fix his hat, something Goodman strongly denied.

We talked to stadium acoustics expert Jack Wrightson about how stadium sound systems are simulated and constructed, how they’ve evolved, and why some ballparks today are so damn loud.
