December 14, 2015 Syndicated from District

The Detroit Tigers may not be playing baseball in Detroit for another few months but Monroe-area Tigers’ fans can start getting ready for the season when Mario Impemba, Fox Sports Detroit play-by-play broadcaster for the Detroit Tigers, comes to Monroe on Wednesday, January 20, to speak at a fundraiser benefitting the Education Foundation of Monroe Public Schools.

     The two-hour event will begin at 6 p.m., January 20, at the Monroe Bank & Trust headquarters’ community room, 10 Washington St.  Tickets are $25 each and include light refreshments and a chance to hear the veteran Tigers broadcaster talk about the upcoming season and take audience questions.  Tickets are limited and only will be available via pre-sale.  Tickets will not be available at the door.

Check out the attached flyer.

     “We are making tickets available now because we believe they will make great stocking stuffers and Christmas presents for the Tigers fans on anyone’s gift list,” said Deb Thornton, president, Education Foundation of Monroe Public Schools.  “Hearing the man who talks about Tigers baseball all summer long talk about Tigers baseball in Monroe is a great way to chase away the mid-winter blahs and yell ‘Play Ball.’”

     Tickets are available during regular business hours at the Monroe Public Schools Administration Building, 1275 N. Macomb St., or from any Foundation Board member. 

     Mario Impemba has been the play-by-play voice of Tigers baseball on Fox Sports Detroit since 2002.  He also announced basketball for the Oakland University Golden Grizzlies and formerly broadcast California Angels baseball prior to coming to Detroit.  He is a graduate of Michigan State University.M
