Here’s a spooky tale for Halloween to share. The tale of the Detroit Tigers free-agent starting pitcher bad luck.
Disclaimer: I know Detroit Tigers fans will cite examples of Kenny Rogers, David Wells, Walt Terrell who was the expectation of the rule of this “curse” or bad luck. But Detroit opted not to pay up for Wells, instead, traded him to Cincinnatti for one year of Mark Lewis.
