Let's Hear It For MoTown!

(Detroit-AP) -- The Detroit Tigers will host the 2005 All-Star game at Comerica Park.
The Tigers called a news conference today to announce the selection. Commissioner
Bud Selig said last year that the Tigers were a "prime candidate" to host the game,
which was last played in the Motor City in 1971.
The All-Star game is the latest in a series of high-profile sporting events awarded in
recent years to the area. The 2004 Ryder Cup will be held at Oakland Hills in suburban
Detroit. The 2006 Super Bowl and the 2009 Final Four will be played at Ford Field, the
home of the Detroit Lions.
Next year's All-Star game is in Houston.

Maybe they'll even have electricity by then.
