Matt Pelc
Matt Pelc is a life-long supporter of Detroit and Michigan sports, particularly the Detroit Tigers and Lions. His love for the Tigers began at an early age. The first game he attended in person was the lone winning game of the 1987 ALCS. When it became clear that his dream of being the heir apparent to his boyhood hero, Alan Trammell, and donning the “Olde English D” for a living did not mesh with his athletic talents (or lack thereof), Matt's dream morphed into one day becoming the beat writer for the team. He lives in St. Cloud, Fla., and contributes to Motor City Bengals and SideLion Report.
