Tigers' Spring Training

Pudge Rodriguez takes a swing against the Yankees. I think I'd rather go to Spring Training games than regular season! This was taken in Lakeland, Florida, at Joker Marchant Stadium, home of the Flying Tigers and the spring training facility of the Detroit Tigers. This photograph was published in the NWA World Traveler Magazine, March 2008 issue.

 

UPDATE: 6/19/2009 Ivan "Pudge" Rodriguez, now of the Houston Astros, has broken the record for games played as catcher after working his 2,227th game behind the plate. Rodriguez broke the record on Wednesday, June 17, 2009 in his 19th season in the majors.
