Vision Circle

Remember Bubba?

It's been a full twenty years since the Detroit Tigers won the World Series, fueled by Parrish, Whitaker, Trammell, Gibson, Herndon, Morris, and a blazing 9-0 start.

While we celebrated part of the city burned. And the picture that most accurately captured the experience was of a young white boy standing in front of a burning car smiling for the camera.

In the twenty years since the Free Press was able to hunt Bubba down. This is his story.

As the debates come to a head tonight in Saint Louis (on my yard, though I won't be there), I wonder who Bubba would've voted for? My gut tells me Bush. Though I can't see anything in Bush's policies that would've done anything for Bubba besides make him feel manly.
