Ron was talking this past Sunday about umpiring the Tigers/Reds exhibition games in the late '70s. Here's one story he didn't tell.

(Detroit Free Press, 4/25/79)

(I met Doug Cossey when he was working for the South Lyon school system. He told me a story about Kirk Gibson cussing out some kid in Grosse Pointe when Gibson was jogging and this kid asked Gibson for his autograph.)
Freep playing fast and loose with the word expert.

That story seems to be par for the course with Cameron. Calls a balk in a charity game then has to backtrack when a real umpire steps in. I can see why his umpire school was free of charge.

Let the bidding war among Northville-area hoteliers, eager to say, "Ron Cameron slept here," begin.

Tigers have removed Avila as GM. Get ready for Ron to go on a rant about how great he is.

Any hope Ron had of ever seeing the inside of Comerica Park again is now over. If only Ron had gotten Chris Ilitch's number, Avila's job would be safe. Maybe Ron Colangelo will now be kicked upstairs.

Tigers PR is at fault for this! Ron is dialing numbers most likely as we speak! Ron will get to the bottom of this

A prediction. For his unswerving loyalty, Ron’s first guest on his much-anticipated fall season premiere will be that “great man,” Al Avila. For a bonus prediction, Ron will devote the bulk of the "interview" telling oft-told stories about himself & Tiger personalities of yore, while also bashing both the current PR & broadcasting teams. And asking for Chris Ilitch’s phone number.

Failure loves company. Ron will ask for tips on how to fake your way through a job that you're too old to do.

Avila was also the biggest champion for "Combero," who "has to go," according to Ron and Windsor Dave. Will the new GM grant this wish? Stay tuned.

Knowing the ego of our hero, he probably thinks he should be the new GM.

Yeah, I can see GMRC telling the players that he is cutting their salaries because they don’t deserve it and the poor owner needs that money.

As GM, Ron would insist on only one-year contracts. And the maximum salary, awarded only to those with an HOF-trajectory career, could not exceed Al Kaline’s $100,000. With the benefit of my time machine, here’s a look at the 2025 team picture (btw, they’re all lying about their age):

I think Al Avila is one of Ron's heroes because in Ron's world, the only things that matter are good intentions and plans and outside factors always being the cause of problems. Not performance or results.
