The poor Tigers, my home team btw, don't get much press these days except when they trade their pitchers away, Scherzer (Nationals). Verlander (Astros).
Lakeland is in Polk County which is very frequently in the news due to it's star struck sheriff Grady Judd and his assault on sex offenders most of whom quickly go free quickly and have all charges dropped or dismissed. It's Showbiz Folks__To Catch A Predator w/Chris Hansen was produced mostly in Polk County because Florida laws allow for such nonsense and Judd loves the camera.
I have been to Winter Haven and Haines City, which also once had spring training facilities nearby back when I lived down there. Very familiar with Polk County, at least the Polk of 1989. I was in Kissimmee, next to Disney World, even worked there briefly in 1989. I could not really handle life down there at the time with no vehicle of my own, the lightning was scary. One time caddied with my brother and lightning would fly and we had no shelter nearby...
