Tigers Today podcast: Lynn Henning pinch-hits, 50 years after first Lakeland pilgrimage

Tigers Today host Tony Paul is joined by former Detroit News reporter and freelance writer Lynn Henning, who pinch-hits for Tigers beat reporter Chris McCosky on episode 4 of the News' podcast.

For Henning, 2023 marks his 50th year of attending spring training in Lakeland, Fla.

"Spring training is about renewal and it's a renaissance experience every year for me," Henning said on the podcast. "Lakeland can still sweep you away with the grandeur of the weather, the trees, the greenery, the ballfields out back where the kids are playing, at Marchant Stadium during the game, the ospreys whistling again as they flap up to their nests and light towers.
