  • Tigers chase Moore early in 10-1 win over Rays

    Jun 5, 2013

    DETROIT (AP) — Torii Hunter noticed early on that something was amiss with Tampa Bay left-hander Matt Moore. “I saw him throw the curveball a couple times, and I saw that he didn’t have a feel for that,” Hunter said. “This guy has great stuff — his changeup, his arm action is the same as the fastball, coming out of his arm.

She still had her “I Love Lucy” on the TV, kindly neighbors, and her dear coffee buddy, Mrs. H, from one block up nearer the hoist. As before, we came “back home” for Easter and Thanksgiving and Dad called her every Sunday. Invariably, she answered the phone after one ring. Way back in the last century, my father took Grandma to the Ironwood Theatre to see and hear “The Jazz Singer,” the first talkie starring Al Jolson. She kept dabbing her...
