My Dad: The Remote Control "Closer"

My memories of watching or attending Tigers' games often bring me back to my childhood when my Dad had a weird habit that I could never figure out. Whenever the Tigers faced a tough situation, late in games, my Dad would simply just change the channel, or ask if we were ready to leave. To this day he does the same. I never understood why he did this until I got older: My Dad loved the Tigers so much that it actually irritated him so bad that he couldn't bear to watch when the Tigers did something "stupid". It's a great memory, one that makes me smile every time I'm at a ballgame, when my family asks "After what inning we leaving?"
