<t>Jacoby Jones made is debut last night for the Tigers. He went 2-4 with 2 runs and 2 RBI. One of the RBIs was game winning. He got a gatorade bath after the game.<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> Apparently he got a pretty good ovation from the crowd and was much ballyhooed. I am surprised. I don't recall h...
