Since 1983, the Mayo Smith Society has been the leading Detroit Tigers fan club. The
Society publishes the TIGERS STRIPES newsletter nine times a year to provide, in plain English, statistical analyses of the Tigers’ on-field performance unavailable e
lsewhere. We also publish E-Mayo Flash updates between newsletter issues — especially when the Tigers are in the postseason — available only to members who get their newsletters via email.
The Society sponsors the King Tiger Award to acknowledge a player’s on-field excellence and community involvement and contributes to Michigan-based charities.
We hold monthly dinner meetings in Washington, D.C., as well as an annual spring training trip to Lakeland and an Annual Gathering in Detroit.
