I was nine when my dad took me to Tiger Stadium to see the Bird. I don't remember which game.
The Bird was a phenomena. He brought so much fun and excitement to the game, a genuine likeable guy.
Every time he's mentioned, the Song starts running through my mind...
Don't you know about the bird? Everybody knows that the Bird is the word!
B-b-b-bird bird bird, the bird is the word. B-b-b-bird bird bird, the bird is the word...
