We don't hide the fact we're focused on Lakelanders. It's our name, after all. That's why, when it comes to football, our photographer, Tom Hagerty, can be found at high school games...not the Bucs. It's also why last year we published photos after every Lakeland Flying Tigers home game and the box score from every game home or away. For our readers on Twitter, we sent game updates and reminders. That's coverage you didn't find anywhere else.
The Lakeland Flying Tigers and their parent club, the Detroit Tigers, are looking for a few good men and women..that can sing.

They only have a few limited dates available, so sing your heart out. If you have any questions try to contact Dan Lauer at dan.lauer@detroittigers.com.
