So long, Tiger Stadium!

Yes, so long, Tiger Stadium!

The best memories of boyhood are about my father and I going to watch the Detroit Tigers play at Tiger Stadium. Since we lived only about a mile from the park, we went there often.

As long as I live I will never forget how the stadium seemed so huge, the grass on the playing field so green. Because of the association with baseball on "The Corner", there is nothing to this day like a Hygrade's Ballpark frank and a Vernors gingerale (or a real Stroh's when I got older).

I can still see Mickey Lolich, Al Kaline, Kirk Gibson and the rest of the casts of 1968 and 1984. It really is the end of an era. Time for the new stadium to start making history of its own.

Still...naming a baseball stadium after a bank (Comerica) should tell us something.

Nothing to do with Amateur Radio, but still nice to remember. Best regards to all. David
