I’ve been calling games at UPMC Park for 19 seasons. I have seen a grand total of two balls that have cleared the building across the street in a game. Steven Moya in 2014 and now Kevin McGonigle tonight. Just incredible.
Kevin McGonigle gets 100 from Jarlin Susana and hits it a billion feet to right for a solo homer. It’s his 7th with the SeaWolves. @Greg_Gania on the call.
Leave it to @QuePaso22 to have Game Notes for his wedding. Much better than the normal wedding play bill that no one ever reads. Entire room is reading the notes.
Before tonight’s game, @Greene21Riley & @spennyt did something very cool. A dad & his 16-year old son suffering from brain cancer drove five hours to watch Erie play. We surprised the kid with a bat signed by both and we set it up to have them take a photo with him. @tigers
Proud and excited to be a part of the Tigers broadcast team in 2024, stepping in while @Dan_Dickerson is on TV.
Looking forward to once again working with the talented @daniellabruce_. Also pumped to work with @CMo_27, @AndyDirks12 & @bobby_scales.
Fun fact: Kerry Carpenter made changes after the ‘21 season. He was hitting 7th in the Erie lineup on Opening Day of ‘22.
Went on to hit .304 with 22 HR & 48 RBI in 63 games, got himself to the @MudHens and then to the #Tigers and hasn’t looked back.
Still wild to think that Kerry was hitting 7th in Double-A in 2022.
From where he began in his career to hitting a three-run homer in the playoffs is just a testament to his work ethic and ability to make adjustments.
Just an incredible story. #RepDetroit

It’s been a pretty incredible month of May for @erie_seawolves OF Kerry Carpenter.
In 21 games this month, he’s hitting .430 with 11 HR, 25 RBI, 7 2B, 6 BB and 1 SB. 9 multi-hit GMs
.483 OBP, .937 SLU, 1.420 OPS
He’s also hit safely in 18 of his last 19 games. #DetroitRoots
Big crowds all around the #Tigers chain tonight!
Tigers: 35,138
Hens: 9,075
Wolves: 4,110
Caps: 8,686
All four crowds treated to a win and the Flying Tigers got a W on the road.
Good night both on and off the field in the entire organization. #RepDetroit
It was a tough day saying goodbye to @Ryan_Kreidler, @spennyt, @Greene21Riley & @Brady_Policelli. So happy for them as they advance to the @MudHens. Four incredible humans and the @tigers should be extremely proud to have them all in the org. The future is bright in the D!
