Farewell to Allison
Yesterday was Allison’s last official day as a Fox Sports Detroit Girl. She’s out in California now, and no doubt she will be successful in everything she does. We here a M.I.B. wanted to say ‘thank you’, and wish her all the best. She and Lauren have done a great job representing Detroit sports and the state of Michigan. Allison was also one of the few Fox Sport girls chosen to attend last year’s MLB All-Star Game in Kansas City. She’s already had an un-credited cameo in Iron Man 2, and rumor mill has it she’s dating Captain America himself, Chris Evans. As a Marvel fan when I was a kid, I think this is pretty awesome. I believe that she had a hand in choosing her successor, though her and Lauren set some pretty high standards. All the best, Allison!

What I’ll be missing
Well, I miss baseball already. I miss the sun shining, and the smell of the grass and goodies as I walk into the ballpark. I miss spending time with the kids at the fields, playing catch, and watching them run the bases. And with the Tigers season in the rear-view mirror, and the NHL locked out, I’ll also be missing Lauren and Allison-The Fox Sports Detroit Girls. As the bad news just keeps pouring in, I not only learned this morning that RSBS has boarded up their windows for good, but now Allison has announced that she will be leaving Detroit, and making a name for herself in L.A. She’ll be missed, and it’s too bad the kids and I couldn’t catch up with her and Lauren at a game this summer. With luck, maybe we’ll have a chance before she leaves after December. Best of luck, Allison, and we look forward from seeing more of Lauren! Here’s the link to Allison’s ‘goodbye’ video:

Fox Sports Detroit Girls get Muddy
Fifth-Third Field-Toledo, OH: Last Saturday the Fox Sports Detroit Girls blessed Fifth-Third Field in Toledo with their presence (not to be confused with Fifth-Third Field in Dayton, Fifth-Third Ballpark by Grand Rapids, or Fifth-Third Bank Ballpark in Kane Country….my god…). The Girls were on hand to help root on the Detroit Tigers Triple-A affiliate and help support the military, who was being honored all week by the Mud Hens. It’s a pretty fair drive from the Canadian border straight down to Toledo, but if I would have known that the Girls were going to be there, we would have tried to make plans! My window of opportunity for the kids and I too meet them is running out quickly, with the Minor League regular season ending in less than a week. My only hope now is for the baseball Gods to smile upon me, with Lauren and Allison magically appearing at the West Michigan Whitecaps game this Sunday…our last outing of the 2012 campaign. My only other chance for removing the Fox Sports Detroit Girls from my baseball bucket list is if they make it to a Grand Rapids Griffins (AHL hockey) game this winter. The Girls were a lucky charm, too, as the Mud Hens beat the Louiville Bats 5-1.

Your Vote Counts!!!!
Vote for Lauren and Allison!!!!
The MLB All-Star Game voting is all but over, but your vote can still count if you want to send three of the best Fox Sports Girls to the All-Star Game, also. My votes, big surprise, will be going toward the Fox Sports Detroit Girls, Lauren and Allison. I’ve stated in other post how well they interact with their fans, both live and online via the social networking. They would not only represent the Detroit and Michigan areas, but all of the Fox Sports Broadcasting with class and prestige.
The Girls recently at the Great Lakes Loons game. I’m confident I’ll get to meet them sometime this summer!

Missed Opportunities
The Fox Sports Detroit Girls at Fifth-Third Ballpark!
Twice within the last few weeks, Fifth-Thrid Ballpark in Comstock Park, home of the West Michigan Whitecaps, has been graced with the presence of the Fox Sports Detroit Girls-Lauren and Allison. Unfortunately, I’ve been unable to make the trek south to attend either of these games. The first visit was on May 25, just days after we were there ourselves. Just getting back from vacation, there was just no way to get the time off work again, or come up with the funds for another trip. With this first opportunity missed, I was confident that the girls might make another stop in Grand Rapids. Return they did, on June 7. This time, with just one day notice of their appearance, and the fact that I’m coaching two Little League teams, we were again unable to make to the Whitecaps game! Two opportunities missed, but I’m confident that maybe we can catch up with them sometime this summer, or even this winter at a hockey game. Lauren and Allison are scheduled to appear in Midland on my birthday weekend next month, when the Great Lakes Loons host the Lansing LugNuts, so if anyone is looking for a present for me, I have a great suggestion!
Lauren and Allison are great ambassadors for sports here in Michigan. They are active on Twitter and Facebook, and often reply and interact with the fans whenever they can. From all that I’ve read from other fans who’ve met them, it was a very positive experience. Trevor follows the girls on Facebook also (big surprise), and Lily looks up to them as role models. It’s nice that they’ve stepped into my little world of Minor League Baseball, and I’m hoping I won’t miss the next opportunity.
Looking good in the Whitecaps gear!
Chillin’ outside the dugout!
