I am months late producing this video. But now that it's finished, I want to show
it off. Earlier this year, my son's 8th grade basketball team tied for the city championship.
Here are highlights from the season.

        <p>
Those of us living in the Detroit area got a real treat last night.
</p>
        <p>
The Tigers 8-4 victory completed a 3-game sweep of the Yankees - their first sweep
in The Bronx since 1956.
</p>
        <p>
The Red Wings dominated an injury-riddled Colorado Avalanche 8-2 to sweep the second
round of the NHL playoffs.  Johan "Mule" Franzen notched a hat trick (3 goals
in one game) and is playing as well as anyone in the playoffs.
</p>
        <p>
Meanwhile the Pistons advanced to the second round of the NBA playoffs with a 100-77
rout of the Philadelphia 76ers.  Just a few days ago, Detroit trailed 2-1 in
the series following a one-sided Philadelphia victory.
</p>
        <p>
All three victories completed a victorious series and each occurred on the road.  
</p>
        <p>
Detroit sports fans have had much to cheer about over the years, but I don't recall
a day like Thursday, when all 3 of the major professional sports teams had such big
victories simultaneously.  (I understand that Detroit once boasted a professional
football team but I can't find anyone here who remembers them.)<br /></p>
