About the Lead Blogger- John Parent

I am a lifelong Tiger fan who has been covering the Tigers on many different sites. After the successful launch of two different blogs, I accepted the offer from FanSided to bring my work here in February of 2010.

I was born and raised in Lima, OH but don’t hold that against me, I hate Ohio State, too. My love of baseball was fostered by my grandfather, my father, and Ernie Harwell on WJR. My favorite Tigers are Lou Whitaker, Cecil Fielder, and Brandon Inge.  I think Barry Bonds is the greatest player I have ever seen, regardless of steroids.

I am an alumnus of Bowling Green State University where I studied English. I met my wife, Valerie, through my then-fiance (which is a long, but now quite amusing story that I will be happy to share via email if you want to hear it), and we were married on April 4, 2008.  I have two wonderful step-children, Lillian and Sebastian.  Our son, Leyton, was born in October of 2008 and we have another little one coming in March of 2010.

About the Contributing Author: Joe Dexter

I am an aspiring writer and media student at Northern Michigan University, in Marquette Michigan. I enjoy watching sporting events, blogging and spending time with friends and family. One important factor in my life is my girlfriend, Andrea, whom I love very much.

Another driving force in my life is sports. Dexter-Sports has become the baby that I will never have. I blog daily about the sport of baseball, with opinion, spite and sometimes no objectivity. Check it out for more baseball news and more.

Lastly, I hope you get something out my passion for Detroit Tiger Baseball. It has been a part of my life since the tender age of 10, when my Grandfather, Ken and I watched my first baseball game together. I’ll never forget that day those Motor City Bengals beat the Orioles of Baltimore.Thanks for your time, and Let’s Go Tigers!
