I don't think I'd be able to narrow down my "favorite" Tiger Stadium moment. Everytime I think "Yeah, this is the one" - another one pops up. Walking down the street with Don Drysdale or Brooks Robininson on the way back to the downtown hotels.....making Kruschekes for Carl Yaz and talking to him before the game. Getting pledges from Freehan, Stanley, Fred Scherman for the Walk-a-thon - and collecting later - getting graduation cards from them as we graduated high school......standing on the third upper deck walkway with Ernie Harwell after the 84 world series....getting an Opening Day hug from Ernie for 20 years and we'd all laugh and say "NOW" the season started.....being on the field with Joe Namath during a Lions game and visitng with the players before the game - have Dad waiting for us the seats int he 3rd upper deck and explaining to his work associates, yes, those ARE my daughter down there by the Lions bench....and of course, walking into the ballyard and looking at the field from any ramp as soon as you could run to one and just sigh. So many good memories.......
