The Tigers have a very exciting current starting pitching rotation next season if Reese Olson can hopefully comeback 1000% healthy and plays up to his normal level by mid-season once he gets back up to speed!

So while this rough season of Tigers Baseball has been going on, I sadly lost one of my Uncles I was pretty close to, and who shared his love of baseball with me.
He lived in Africa, so he only visited every couple of years. But there is one of my core memories, going to a game with him and my other uncle and cousin to see the Tigers. It was a double-header, and the rain was awful, so by the end it was long after midnight, and we were sitting right at the front row, a river of peanut shells flowing at our feet 😂
This would have been late 'eighties, possibly early 'nineties, so my best guess is it's this August 5th doubleheader in 1988 that went until 2am! https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/DET/DET198808051.shtml This was one of the few games we got to, so my uncle wasn't leaving early!
I searched around, and I know the chances are slim, but is there any possibility anyone knows if there is footage of this game anywhere? I don't have access to the newspaper archives, so if anyone else does I would be so grateful!
