The Big Easy!
In late April 1984 the Detroit Tigers were 35 and 5, spring was in the air and with 200 dollars a piece our heroes, along with Mike Hadrian (and his 200 dollars) piled into a 8 year old Chevette with 200,000 mile on it, and headed to the Big Easy!
It wasn't Mardi Gras, but the 1984 World Fair offered international flair, with all of New Orlean's "charms !" Besides, who could pass up Bob Hope, Brooke Shields, and Mr. T, along with cheap beer and Rum-based Hurricanes.
This trip covered 8 states (Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Tennesee, Mississippi, Louisiana, Florida, & Ohio) in only 3 days,! Thus starting the lunacy known as Mike and Bone!
