loved this so much!!!

[mishagirl69]

AWESOME! LOL! What a great time! Personally, I would have probably DIED of JOY being that close to Willie Horton!!!! He was always my favorite. Well, next to Ty Cobb ;)

[raiders1967]

Well done. More enjoyable to view while the Tigers are in first place. There were some people on the video I hadn't thought about in a while. Steve Kemp fits in that category. Been a while since I had thought about Jason Thompson. Great to see John Hiller. Actually looked up his stats within the last week or so. After Zumaya and Rodney blew one, I posted comment asking if John Hiller was available. Willie Horton did chat on Tigs official website a few days ago. Got one question into him.

@gpghosts : Youtube removed it because I put photos from the camp to Music and I guess it violates something. Its cool though. LOL

[jaredb4213]

Great video, thanks for posting. These are the Tiger greats I grew up with.

[gpghosts]

[jmay38]

i get baseball lessons from John Wockenfuss in upper maryland and he is one of the greats. this man is a genius at the game of baseball.

[czarofsoul]

Thanks man. I collected comments over the years here and there. It came together kind of cool. Thanks for your comment.

Paul, that was one of the best videos I've ever seen on Youtube! I don't know how you got all those old Tiger legends to talk, but they were great playing the part. It was nice to see what those guys looked like now. The Frank Howard and Kirk Gibson scenes were my favorites.

Off subject: Actor Tom Selleck, he of Magnum, P.I. fame, once cranked one into the seats at Tiger Stadium.

[aaronrn1978]

haha love it...i hate driving by Tiger Stadium every day, less and less of it during the demolition.

[Veramacor]

From what I remember, Lance Parish got the story half right...

The pitcher had a 100+ mph fastball that Paul swung at, foul tipped it, then hit the upper deck facing BEHIND home plate, bounced off, rebounded back into play, and soared over the left field fence.

There was a dent in the facing, no birds were present as Lance stated. Just a shower of crusty bird shit that fell upon both Barker and spectators.

Come on Paul, it was with an aluminum bat; can you really count that. Went to Tiger camp in 2006 and 2007. Now I travel with other Tiger campers attending tournaments. If you want some info, let me know. You seem like a nice guy. Great job.

[yourdetroitsportsbar]

It looks like camp is a lot of fun. I hope to attend one day. Question... Was the part of the stadium behind home plate already torn down to help you get a little extra wind behind you on "The Shot heard around the world"? Maybe you should be checked for steroids? LOL!

[czarofsoul]

No, the stadium is still in tact behind home plate. It was all steroids. lol
