Annual winter fan festival, presented by StubHub!, scheduled for Saturday, Jan. 24

DETROIT -- Tigers players and coaches will take a break from their off-season and return to Detroit to take part in the annual TigerFest at Comerica Park on Saturday, January 24, 2009. The 15th Annual TigerFest will take place from 11:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. and feature fun for fans of all ages throughout Comerica Park.

Tickets for the annual winter baseball event, presented by StubHub! will go on sale this Friday at 10 a.m. Tickets can be purchased online at www.tigers.com/tigerfest or by calling 866-66-TIGER (84437). The cost of admission will be $12 for adults and $6 for kids 14-and-under. Children three and under are admitted for free.

TigerFest allows fans to get up close and personal with their favorite Tigers players and coaches through autograph sessions, photo booths and seminars. In addition, fans will have the opportunity to tour many unique areas of the ballpark including the Tigers' Clubhouse, Chevrolet Champions Club and the Ernie Harwell Media Center. This year's event will also celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the 1984 World Series Champion Tigers and feature photo opportunities with the 1984 World Series Trophy.

Fan activities will also include major league batting cages, a Tigers speed pitch cage and a historic Tigers museum area. Youngsters will be able to hit in a miniature Home Run Derby, swing in the junior T-ball area, play video games, have their face painted and more. In addition to all the interactive events, Detroit's favorite mascot, PAWS, will be prowling around the park greeting fans of all ages.

Most access areas within the event will be heated and covered as the Tigers create the ultimate "think summer" experience in the middle of winter. However, the Tigers encourage all fans to dress according to the weather as some passageways may not be protected from seasonal elements.

Additional details, including players scheduled to appear at the event, will be announced in early January. For further details and the latest updates, please visit www.tigers.com/tigerfest .

What I wouldn't give to be in a shot like this:

You need to go then and get that pic!

I'm going fo sho'....no telling how close I'll get!

My parents said they would take me.
But who is supposed to be there this year????

Still waiting on the list of players.

Will we know BEFORE friday?

I wanna go. This sucks. I cant wait till I get my license

Usually they give the low down after christmas....

They like to show off the newly signed players, and present team favorites.

Remember Miggy made his grand appearance...
and I saw Dontrelle at Toledo.

Dontrell should be all arms and legs now that he has lost weight!

It was weird because I didn't think he looked very heavy at all when I saw him...just arms and legs, as you said

But while he was in Lakeland, he put on too much weight. He needed to lose some weight.

I don't even know if I wanna go without Matt there

But just think TG...he is on a young and up&coming team...He might get to play every day!
I miss him too.....

Yeah, it really sucks he was gone, Im gonna miss him quite the deal.

I want him back. And it sucks because I can't watch Tampa Bay games so I'll never to watch him

Come for the Rays series when they come to Detroit!

I want to. As soon as they get the 2009 schedule I will see if I am able to. If they come in the summer I should be able to, but not if it's a spring series.

spring beisbol = brrrrrrrrr
