Fans
My dad grew up in West Virginia and moved to Detroit after the Air Force in Korea. We would go to West Virginia every year. My great grandfather was a Reds fan. I used to watch the games with him. While I am a diehard Tiger fan, I have a soft spot for the Reds after watching Jim O'Toole. Frank Robinson, Vada Pinson and Joey Jay etc. Also, when I was in the Army in 1980 and stationed near Baltimore I worked with a lot of Oriole fans. However, a lot of the older guys followed the Tigers because of Al Kaline who was from there. They told me that they would go to there cars and listen to Tiger games on the radio. WJR had a wide range in the 50's and on clear nights they could get the games.
