Just the other day as I was reading The Ledger - Letter to the Editor - from a couple who moved to Lakeland in a couple of years ago. They expressed their gratitude and appreciation for Saturday night's Lakeland Flying Tigers baseball game that was followed by a spectacular fireworks display.
I thought I would share with you in this article what the Flying Tigers are all about to support our local community whether you have lived here and perhaps have not realized that you can enjoy baseball year-round or thinking about a move to the Lakeland area.
Florida and Spring Training. They’re synonymous. But when the Detroit Tigers MLB baseball club leaves for the regular season, the Lakeland Flying Tigers keep the baseball activity at Joker Marchant Stadium alive.
The Lakeland Flying Tigers are a minor league baseball team located here in Lakeland, Florida. The Flying Tigers are part of the Florida State League and have enjoyed a relationship with the Detroit Tigers as their High-A affiliate since 1967.
This is a big deal, since theirs is one of the longest unbroken Major League Baseball affiliate relationships still in existence. The Flying Tigers play in the Florida State League – a Class A-Advanced Minor League Baseball league operating in connection with Minor League Baseball but as a independant entity all the same.
