It was announced today that Kid Rock has purchase the naming rights to the home of the Detroit Tigers for an undisclosed sum. Kid Rock and The Michigan Brewing Company, in a separate negotiation, are proud to announce that Kid Rock’s forthcoming new line of beer will become the official beer of the Detroit Tigers.
Says Kid Rock, “This has been a dream of mine for a long time, and with the banks in trouble it seemed like the right time for me to reach out to the fine people at Comerica Bank. Since they relocated to Dallas after opening the stadium here, they were very open to the idea of making this deal. I’ve never been more excited for opening day, and I’m proud to be able to add my name to the legacy of my favorite baseball team.”

So whats the name going to be..”Kid Rock & The Michigan Brewing Company Park”?
I vote for “American Badass Park”
or “Fist of Rage Park”! Maybe even “Rock n Roll Jesus Park”!
You are truly the “King of Beers” now as well as the “King of Rock”.. Mr. Rock!

ALL THESE PEOPLE WHO COMMENTED ABOVE DIDN’T GET THE APRIL FOOL’S JOKE!!! APRIL FOOLS EVERYONE!!!! LOL. That was a good one though, but I realized it before even finishing the reading!!!!! Ha ha ha!! I actually have a friend staying with me who is from Detroit, and I told him this, with a straight face…And he says, “Ah fuck! I’ve heard it all now! I’m no longer a Tiger fan!” LOL. Then he called up a bunch of friends in Detroit, once I told him it was an April Fool’s joke and told them too. Got their asses! LOL.
Great job, and Love Always,
Chasity in St. Louis, MO, who didn’t fall for it, but who would fall for you any time!

“A baseball park is the one place where a man’s wife doesn’t mind his getting excited over somebody else’s curves”:)
“Well, boys, it’s a round ball and a round bat and you got to hit the ball square.
Progress always involves risks. You can’t steal second base and keep your foot on first.
Baseball fans love numbers. This is a game to be savored, not gulped. They love to swirl them around their mouths like Kid Rock’s forthcoming new line of beer. Love is the most important thing in the world, but baseball is pretty good too. Now stand up and sing “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” and Detroit Tigers NOW go and win a major league game. “
YOUR CANADIAN GIRL:)

Hey Rock,
That is awesome dude! You are an inspiration to so many people and when I’m having a bad day or down and out all I have to do is listen to some KR to get me doing. I got my VIP tickets for Hershey, PA… I don’t see the Holmdel, NJ tickets go on sale yet, I’ll keep on watching for them. Anyway keep up all the great and hard work and keep it real.
Later, TJ

WHAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE FUNNY ABOUT YOUR SO CALLED APRIL FOOLS JOKE? STICK TO WRITING MUSIC, YOU’LL NEVER MAKE IT IN THE COMEDY INDUSTRY, OR PUNKED. I DO LIKE YOUR MUSIC THOUGH. LETS GET SOME DETROIT DATES ADDED TO THIS TOUR ALREADY, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? hOPE YOU CAN CRANK UP THE VOLUME AND KEEP UP WITH SKYNYRD. SAW THEM LAST YEAR AT THE PALACE, AND THEY ROCKED, AND MUCH LOUDER AND HARDER THAN KID ROCK. YOU NEED TO CRANK UP THE AMPS AND SOUND SYSTEM TO THEIR LEVEL, LOUDNESS MAKES A HUGE DIFFERENCE. SAME THING WITH METALLICA. SAW THEM IN JANUARY AT JOE LOUIS, AND THEY KICKED ASS, AND LOUDNESS WAS THE KEY, NOT TO MENTION THEIR MUSIC IS JUST AMAZING. IF METALLICA CAN STILL DO IT YOU CAN TOO, CUT OUT THIS DIMESTORE BUBBLE GUM POP ALL SUMMER LONG SHIT AND HARDEN BACK UP. tHE MEMBERS OF METALLICA ARE 45 AND ROCKING THEIR ASSES OFF, SO YOU STILL CAN TOO, THATS WHAT WE WANT TO SEE, TRUST ME I SPEAK FOR ALL OF DETROIT!
