Brandon Inge's TBS Feature

by Ian Casselberry on Oct 11, 2009 10:50 AM EDT in News Comment 9 comments

I'm a few days late with this Brandon Inge video, as I was hoping an embeddable copy would eventually become available from TBS. But MLB just doesn't allow its videos to be posted elsewhere. Not even TBS can get around that, unfortunately.

If you missed it (or haven't found it yourself already), TBS ran a feature on Inge's work with children at Mott Children's Hospital during the first and second playoff games on Wednesday afternoon.

For those of you who have been watching all season, you'll remember the stories of Tommy and Noah, and the home runs Inge ended up hitting for them. But if you'd like to relive those moments, and hear Inge talk about them, this is definitely worth your time.

Just be warned. Keep a box of tissues nearby or watch alone. You might find yourself getting a little misty.

You can see the video here, courtesy of the TBS Hot Corner blog.

I hope Brandon Inge

will always wear the Olde English D. What a great representative of our city he truly is.

For all his issues on the field...

he strikes out too much, checks his swing too much, and infurirates me at times when it appears he shouldn’t be playing due to injury, he finds ways to be a contributor on the field. He was maybe our best player on Tuesday. And he does represent the uniform, the city, and the state as well as anyone has in my lifetime.

I hope he’s always a Tiger too.

I adore Brandon Inge.

One of the most wonderful things about him is that he survived that horrible 2003 season without his soul being crushed, and without wanting off the team because they were just plain bad, and dealt with all the hassle and shifting around about as well as anyone could expect and still clearly loves being a Tiger.

yes

he’s suffered as much as the fans and he’s held his head high through it.

I’m pretty sure if he played for another team I’d need to have favorite teams 1A and 1B.

I can't stand Inge the player

Never had a problem with him as a person though. Always does good things in the community. Guy just isn’t that great of a ball player – and should be or should have been either a catcher or a super utility guy. Doesn’t mean I want him gone, just means I don’t want him in the starting lineup every day.
