Mentioned in Baltimore

This columnist leads off with our sign, but the article is really about how sports championships rarely lead to real economic growth. For our neighborhood, having the team winning has sure been helpful to the economy!

DETROIT - Next door to Comerica Park sits St. John's Episcopal Church, where an electronic sign beckons with bright orange letters, "Pray here for the Tigers." The plea should erase any doubt that religion and baseball intersect sharply in the Motor City.
But the role sports plays - the role the Tigers play - can be a bit tougher to dissect.
The electricity that flowed through the stadium for last night's World Series opener was evident - so evident, in fact, that first glance would lead you to believe it lit up the whole neighborhood. But actually, that was the doing of Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, who had three empty buildings illuminated so television images wouldn't depict a barren downtown.
