What does old Tiger Stadium site look like now?

When the weather is warmer, at all times of the day you may find families wandering about...and occasionally an impromptu pickup game on the old diamond.

There is a contingent of folk who have maintained the field...much to the chagrin of a few police officers who seem to need to clamp down on the potential for fun.


It is a huge field of dreams, dashed by a corrupt administration's rush for profit from scrapped metals and kickbacks. Many will not let it fade away into mere memory.

I considered the stadium the other day, and while saddened by its loss...immediately I remembered that one fellow holding his infant while leading a toddler around...pointing to things that used to be. Later on, I saw them tossing a baseball around the infield. That memory dampens the sadness...washes it away, ever so bittersweetly.
