Years ago, some alcoholic Tiger fans created the Rod Allen drinking game. This game killed hundreds, but enjoyment of Tiger baseball and Rodisms was never greater. This game hasn’t been updated in years and, I think, it is time. We here at Detroit4lyfe know that this game might kill a small percentage of our readers, but, the survivors will take great enjoyment from this game.
It doesn’t matter if the Tigers are battling for the AL Central Title or playing the Royals in a meaningless game in August, we Detroiters are loyal even if it results in us completely buggy whipping our livers. Enjoy the game everyone.
