Tigers GM fulfills an injured police officer's dream

He may not sign the players we want, but he’s a damn good guy.

Even though they’re not obligated, I’ve always felt that those who are most blessed in life, especially those who have a few extra bucks or get to work in pro sports and can help others, definitely should if they can. You hear all the time about sports stars volunteering and doing community service, along with sports organizations taking part in raising money for this or that, and it’s great. Good for DD and the Tigers org for helping out your friend and he’s probably one of many. I hope all sports organizations are willing to take this kind of time to help out their community – these are the kind of acts most people never forget and make fans for life.

Thank you so much for sharing your story!
Dave and Mr. Illitch are quality human beings!

I hope your friend will be ok, and I am proud to be a Tiger fan, always. We really do have an organization that cares about the community. It’s a great feeling

but I applaud you none the less cloud wall. With out you none of this would’ve happened for your friend and because of that your contribution is just as great as anything the Tigers could provide even the recognition may be less.

Sometimes it’s hard to remember that just because there isn’t much you can do doesn’t mean that you should do nothing at all. Every act counts and every act makes a difference. Your small act of writing a letter lead to a special event for a man who truly deserved it.

and by the way cloud wall, tell your friend that the community here at Bless You Boys wishes him a full and speedy recovery.

Awesome, awesome story. Here’s to a speedy recovery to your friend so he can thank Dombrowski personally — have him do it on behalf of BYB!

What a great experience for your friend. With a long recovery, it’s nice to have something to break up the monotony. :)

And I agree, it is a great credit to you Cloud Wall for taking the initiative and putting the Tigers’ office in touch with your friend. I hope he continues his recovery and is able to enjoy the season when it starts.
BTW: perhaps he could as for a solid LH batter the next time he and DD chat?

that was really cool of you to do that for your friend, and nice to hear the Tigers organization went out of their way to make his recovery easier. let us know how the team meeting and stuff goes if you’re involved, how exciting!

The Tigers are great at helping the community. If you are having a fundraiser, like a silent auction, just reach out to them and they will donate autographed baseballs and the like!

sometimes you forget that they’re people too. Good people, at that.

That in the afterlife, the Tigers will win every year
