Tigers-Pirates, top of second

Brandon Inge leads off by beating out a dribbler down the third-base line.
These teams met in the 1909 World Series, with the Pirates pulling out a seven-gme nail-biter behind three victories from pitcher Babe Adams.
It's also the Series where Tigers great Ty Cobb supposedly told Pittsburgh shortstop Honus Wagner "I'm comin' down!" before a steal attempt. Wagner was waiting for the ball and applied a horsehide sandwich to Cobb's lip.
Wagner hit .333 in that Series, compared to .231 for the Georgia Peach, who never claimed the brass ring.
McLouth covers a lot of ground in center top make an easy catch of a long drive by Ramon Santiago for the second out.
This has been an unseasonably cool March. We'd mention that it's because global warming is hastening the melting of the Arctic glaciers and causing that cold water to rush down the Atlantic seaboard, but we won't because it might tick off the executives of the big oil companies who need to eat, too.
Two strikeouts in the inning for Duke.
