Tanner got the real pleasure of meeting a legend from one of his favorite teams, the Detroit Tigers. Tanner got to meet Denny McLain who played for the Tigers from 1963 to 1970 and he is the last major league pitcher to win 30 or more games during a season!
He was in a parade for the Three Rivers Waterfest where they were honoring Taylor. Taylor makes sure there is always room for her brother to be with her in these, as he is her 'wing man'. He is always happy to be there for her and he loves it when someone recognizes him and calls out HIS name!
He went with this sister to visit a WW11 veteran who was in the hospital. I am sure some of you will remember Lester and what he did for Taylor on Taylor's Day. He had to have some surgery, so Taylor and Tanner went up to wish him well and make him smile.
I will add more later on about the trip to Missouri for http://www.anysoldier.com/ and Tanner being REALLY enthralled by a certain Lt. Col. Mitch 'Taco' Bell!

Denny McLain??? I don't remember him being so ... so .... short!
That is pretty cool, Tanner! I used to have a signed photo of Willie Horton, who played with Denny back in those dayz.
