Sadly Mickey York has been let go. Seems like this could have been done better after 25 years with the club.


DETROIT – A Detroit Tigers TV personality who has been with their broadcast partners for 25 years is no longer going to be a part of broadcasts after he says his position was eliminated.

Mickey York shared the news Tuesday on X. He said the Tigers are going in a different direction with their broadcasts, and he will no longer be part of the show.

York has been a staple of Tigers pregame and postgame shows throughout the years, on Fox Sports Detroit, Bally Sports Detroit, and FanDuel Sports Network. He was employed by the networks, and not the Tigers.

The Tigers are currently off to one of their best starts in franchise history. At 22-13, they own the best record in the American League and a 1.5-game lead in the AL Central.

It reminds me when Mr. I took over and he fired Ernie, though temporary. York was awesome.

Caps have had five 7 inning no hitters but zero 9 inning no hitters. .

Will Max Clark turn out better than Wyatt Langford ?
Langford is really hitting the ball.

Should be called up soon hopefully. He did DH tonight and strangely he was pinch hit for in the bottom of 10th when the Mudhens walked it off with no hits. They got a catchers interference to load bases and a HBP to win it lol.
