Lovullo reminisces on tenure with Tigers

“I have nothing but the fondest memories [of Detroit],” Lovullo said. “So going back there, I’ll still reminisce and go through some of the things that I went through as a young player. But times have changed a little bit. The field is different. The vibe is different. But I’ll always remember the Tigers in a very special way.”

The Pacu fish has human-like teeth.

As the son of a RN of 30+ years that worked in the Post Anesthesia Care Unit for a long time, this made me go “huh?” for a little bit...

Say cheese! The Pacu is a South American fish is known for its creepily human-like teeth. See for yourself.

The calling shotgun for the front passenger seat comes from a messenger.

One made an appearance at Snakepit Towers, apparently.

The original term is the shotgun messenger and it was a term used to call the person who sat next to the driver. These messengers would act as guards and use a shotgun to prevent criminals from getting too close. Due to Hollywood’s influence, this term eventually made its way into our society.
