The World Series moves from San Francisco to Detroit on Saturday night.
And so we are done with cool and hip for a while. No more kayaks bobbing in McCovey Cove beyond the right-field wall at AT&T Park. No more panda heads looming hilariously behind the on-deck circle when Pablo Sandoval comes to the plate. No more Willie Mays riding on a golf cart like he’s Ted Williams or the Pope. No more flowers in the hair of granola-sprinkled fans. No more sweet smell of weed wafting from the crowd.

I could not agree more....I want this World Series for all the people of Detroit and Michigan. Go Tigers.
Tom Brady went to University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Ann Arbor has more similarities with San Francisco than it does with Detroit.
Loved this column! Great to shee Shaughnessy the fan emerge from behind the keyboard.
I keep reading that sentence and I can't figure it out. You can't be saying that Willie Mays has less right to ride a golf car than Ted Williams, right? There are not a lot of baseball players with a reasonable claim to be better than Ted, but Mays is one of them.
I liked the rest of the article.
Great read, Dan. You make a very sound case for Detroit, and I hope you get your wish.
