I don't know if any of you saw this but espn basically put together a bunch of categories like how fan friendly a franchise is and how expensive is it to go to a game and so on and then ranked them. Here is the
link are beloved pistons were the 13th ranked franchise with all the sports combined. Other noteables would be the wings who are ranked 8th. No suprise that are lions and tigers are ranked 115th and 116th. It begs the question though how illitch can run a world class hockey organization and run such a lousy baseball team. JUST SELL THE TIGERS ILLITCH!!! but now that I have that off my chest. Pitchers and catchers do report in a few weeks to bad for me optimism is not running high even though we have just about every player from the 84 team on the coaching staff.
