I’ve only known Lord Stanley for a few hours now, but I’m fairly certain that of all the trophies he gets the most ladies. The cup has been kissed and hugged by nearly every woman within reach as it sits atop the roof of Cheli’s Chili Bar where we’ve all gathered to share a few drinks and laughs under the stars with sweeping views Comerica Park, Ford Field and the Fox Theatre around us. Kid Rock joined the party on the roof along with some of his boys, including Uncle Kracker, who was drinking a beer out of the Cup when I met him. Kracker is a good dude who was getting some grief from the Detroit crowd for wearing a throwback Angels hat. After he found out I was from LA, he took it off and put it on my head and said that it was mine. “I’m not from LA, I just thought it looked nice,” he said. “But it looks better on you anyway.”
