Prior to turning professional, Petry spent three seasons at Michigan State University from 2007-10, serving as team captain during his junior year. In total, Petry collected 67 points (9-58-67) and 86 penalty minutes in 118 games with the Spartans, earning a spot on the CCHA Second All-Star Team in 2009-10 and CCHA All-Rookie Team honors in 2007-08. Before joining the Spartans, Petry spent two seasons with the Des Moines Buccaneers of the United States Hockey League from 2005-07, registering 60 points (19-41-60) and 139 penalty minutes in 103 games. He guided Des Moines to a Clark Cup championship in 2006 and was named USA Hockey Junior Player of the Year following the 2006-07 campaign. Petry also played three seasons of varsity hockey at St. Mary’s Preparatory in Orchard Lake, Mich., from 2002-05.

On Monday night, longtime Tigers radio analyst and former World Series Champion, Jim Price, passed away at the age of 81.

“All of us with the Detroit Tigers are deeply saddened to learn of Jim Price’s passing,” said Tigers Chairman and CEO, Chris Ilitch. “Jim was a champion on the field, in the broadcast booth, and throughout the community. That Jim was with the organization for much of his life, doing what he loved, is such a powerful sign of his dedication and loyalty to the Tigers and the city of Detroit. Those are among the many reasons Jim was one of my mother and father’s favorite people, and they had such a strong relationship for many years. The thoughts of my family, and everyone across baseball, are with Jim’s wife, Lisa, and the entire Price family.”

Price debuted with the Tigers in 1967 and played five seasons wearing the Olde English ‘D’, including a key role on one of the greatest teams in franchise history that won a World Series Championship in 1968. After his playing career, he joined the organization in numerous capacities, and became known for his role in the broadcast booth – which included calling games alongside Frank Beckmann, Ernie Harwell and Dan Dickerson.

“This is such sad news,” Dickerson said. “Jim and I were together for 24 seasons, and experienced both ends of the spectrum with our beloved Tigers – from a tough season in the first year after Ernie retired, to two trips to the World Series. Jim helped get me through that first season, which made what happened three years later all the sweeter.

“My favorite memories working with Jim were the days when Al Kaline would stop in the booth – and I’d get to hear them tell stories, swap some tall tales, just make each other laugh about something from the past, or current day. The ’68 team was my team – the team that got me hooked on baseball, and I loved hearing all about the wildly different personalities that made up that team. And learning about things like the origins of Jim’s famous “Yellowhammer” – his colorful description of a good breaking ball. Jim said it came from teammate Pat Dobson and was named after a bird. So one day, we looked it up – and sure enough, a Yellowhammer is a bird that is known for its ability to sharply dart down and away, just like a good curveball. We both got such a kick out of discovering that, and it always added to the moment whenever Jim would break it out – and then we could share a laugh, knowing the history behind the word. “Buggywhip”, “Qualify the speed of the runner”, “Cut the pie” – “Yellowhammer” – these folksy “Jim-isms” were what made him such a fan favorite. As well as the way he connected us to the past, and to one of the greatest teams (he always said “the greatest”) in franchise history. Every time I see a good curveball, I can’t help but think of Jim. I’m sure he won’t mind if I break out the occasional Yellowhammer when I do. He will be missed.”

Throughout his post-playing career, Price remained close with many in baseball, but especially his former teammates. He was very close with the late Mr. Tiger, Al Kaline, and hometown hero, Willie Horton.

“This is an incredibly sad day for the Tigers family,” said 1968 World Series Champion and current Special Assistant to the President of Baseball Operations, Willie Horton. “Jimmy was one of a kind, and one of the best ambassadors for the organization since he retired as a player. He was an incredible teammate and friend to so many, and his impact will never be forgotten. My thoughts are with Lisa and all of Jim’s family.”

Supporters of European football enjoyed the ultimate soccer fan experience on Columbia Street on July 30 in advance of the evening’s preseason face-off between Crystal Palace FC and Sevilla FC at Comerica Park. The District Detroit and 313 Presents transformed Columbia Street, the pedestrian-only street in the heart of The District Detroit, into a Crystal Palace/Sevilla tailgate, welcoming fans for a wide range of activities before the match.

A live DJ played team favorites and energized the crowd, while Crystal Palace FC and Sevilla FC had giveaways ranging from scarves and flags to autographed jerseys and tickets. The Motor City Cup was on hand for photos and fans enjoyed themed specials at the restaurants. From special shakes and burgers to outdoor grill stations and team-inspired cupcakes, there was something for everyone.

Each team offered special experiences for fans too. Crystal Palace was joined by legendary player Mark Bright, as well as Challenger, the team’s mascot and the first bald eagle in U.S. history trained to free-fly into major sports stadiums, arenas, and ballrooms during the National Anthem. Now retired, Challenger enjoyed photos with his admirers. Sevilla brought the coveted UEFA Europa League Trophy, with fans lining up to see the prize and take photos.

Supporters of all ages wore jerseys from teams near and far, and at 5:30 the doors to Comerica Park welcomed over 21,000 guests to watch the preseason friendly match for the Motor City Cup, which did not disappoint.Sevilla took the initial lead as Ivan Rakitic scored the first goal, followed by Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze to tie the match 1-1. After 90 action-packed minutes, the teams settled the score with Rakitic scoring the final goal through a sudden-death penalty kick and Sevilla FC taking home the Motor City Cup.

This match marked the return of international football to Comerica Park for the first time in six years. In July 2017, Comerica Park hosted its first-ever soccer match between AS Roma of the Italian Serie A League against Paris Saint-Germain of France’s Ligue 1 in the 2017 International Champions Cup tournament.
