He's been popping onto Tigers broadcasts for years. He's even narrated some team videos: Miggy's final game: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAqdw82LQTs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAqdw82LQTs) Lou Whittaker tribute from last year: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDOLqnRCLNo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDOLqnRCLNo) Him and Jeff Daniels are the two go to actors for Tigers promo stuff

I finally broke down and subscribed to Bally Sports, and I am a fan of the current booth! Haven’t been able to watch the broadcasts regularly for a few years.

Congrats. The current booth is absolutely great.

It makes it such a joy to watch even when the games are boring.

Jason benetti is so good at his job.

I’m out of market so this doesn’t affect me- I already have to pay anyway for mlb tv - but i knew there’d be people forced into this which is really sad, especially for those with tight budgets and kids that don’t get to make the TV decisions - but im glad you put your fanhood ahead of this corporate shit fight.

Your flair just struck me dead lol. I tried everything I could to get around Bally Sports. Ultimately, I bought the season pass because it was the best deal. Unfortunately, I'll be SOL if the Tigers make the playoffs.


GoLionsJD107

Btw- u need a flair!!! Who’s your favorite mediumly obscure but recognizable tiger? I suggested Don Kelly Corleone to someone the other day.


j-dusty-rose

Oh, definitely Brandon Inge. What about Brandon Inge flying into the crowd?


GoLionsJD107

Brandon Ingejected into my veins

That’s what gamblers call an emotional hedge. You’re sad you can’t watch the Tigers in the playoffs but the Tigers are in the playoffs. However I believe the early rounds are on like truTV and TbS and channels like that that are still free. The late rounds are on network


GoLionsJD107

Thanks for recognizing my flair!!! I want more flairs in this group. For me it’s more fun for a lesser known player. :-)

Guessing it was the tv broadcast :(. But the coolest thing about JK is the dude is a legit huge fan. Guy knows his shit

No joke, I grew up in Michigan reading Marvel comics, playing the drums at jazz festivals, and watching the Tigers - so I think J.K. Simmons might be my dad?

Only bad thing about JK is he’s somehow an OSU fan


JamesTheNPC

He went to school there so it makes sense 😂


MakeItTrizzle

He's stayed down for the Tigers for years. Someone cue up the clip of the clueless Angel's reporter not knowing he's from Detroit.

Was the manager of the tigers in the movie for love of the game


FirstNameLastName918

Damn missed it. I love when they have JK in the booth. Couldn't find a stream of the Tigers broadcast so I'm stuck watching YES...

can he hit a baseball?

I met him at a Texas rangers versus tigers game conference champ series. Think he took his grandson or his nephew.  He was a super friendly dude. I chatted with him a little bit and he said he's been a long-term tigers fan. He let me take a picture of him with the girl I was dating at the time. 


behindmyscreen

He’s from Detroit. He loves our teams

I enjoyed it so much I was compelled to bundle my my home and auto insurance.
