A Local Detroit landmark is being torn down in this great city.
Historical Tiger Stadium, will be, in a matter of days, nothing more than a memory.

I can honestly say, I never went to that old ballpark. I guess I just never had the chance. My cousins even went once, on a school trip. But I never made it. Sometimes, I wonder if going would have been better for me. But, that’s all a little late now. The Detroit Tigers are now using Comerica Park, a place that any baseball fan, who’s worth his salt, will tell you, that it lacks the grandeur of the old ballpark.
I guess some things in this city do change. I was really hoping that they would be able to keep that old ballpark, but alas, it is not to happen. 🙁
I could tell you about memories, involving that park. When the Detroit Tigers won the world series in 1984, I could hear the crowd cheering all the way at my house in Southwest Detroit. I was upstairs, studying, that summer, I had work to do, because I didn’t do so hot in school that year. Ever try studying, when half of your city is going crazy? Twas not fun.
Anyhow, it is really sad to see that old stadium go. I shall always remember her.
Tiger Stadium, May her memory live long and never fade away…
