Jerry Lewis
Jerry is a native Detroiter who graduated from Mumford High School and Wayne State University. After a brief career with Michigan Consolidated Gas Company as a marketing consultant, he began a twenty-plus year career as a wholesale representative in the clothing business. During that time, he also developed the concept for the Detroit Tiger Fantasy Camps – founded in 1984 – with former Tigers catcher and current radio voice Jim Price. The Detroit Tigers Fantasy Camp in Lakeland, Florida, is considered the most successful professional team camp for adults in all of sports, with more than 225 people attending annually. Many more have attended camps and batting practices at Comerica Park since 2000.
