Old tiger stadium was magical. Ive been to several games Comerica park its just not the same the entire design is horrible please tear it down and build an identical twin of old tiger stadium and chabge name back to tiger stadium please get rid of Comerica park name its really stupid!!
Thanks so much for watching and adding a comment. Tiger Stadium was by far my favorite place to see an MLB game. I think when the team sold it to the city, it was the begging of the end. So sad it sat around rotting for so long, so much could have been done to restore part of it. I mean if Michigan Central can get saved, anything can. Thanks again and Go Tigers!
Thank you so much for watching and leaving a comment. Yes you are correct, the group that maintained the field in the years after the stands were torn down were called the Navin Field Grounds Crew. There were some organized game played there as well.
The Tiger that danced on the corner every game was my aunt Angele Cauchon. She was a card-carrying member of the Clowns' Union, a floozy clown known as Flutterby.
Oh my, I am truly honored to read your comment. So cool that your aunt was the Tiger Lady! Those were such amazing days. Thank you so much for watching and letting me know about your aunt.
I totally agree, I still miss watching games at Tiger Stadium. My argument is if they can same Michigan Central, they could have saved Tiger Stadium, I kind of wish the Tigers never got city involved. It had so much potential for upgrade. Thank you for watching and leaving a comment, I appreciate it.
When they were demolishing Tiger Stadium, I took a drive by there to share some memories with my 13 year old daughter. We stopped in the rain and i could see a pile of those orange plastic seats. I lifted up the chain link fence, she scurried under and retrieved 2 sets which I still have to this day. A couple of security guards came and shooed us away. I still get emotional every time i see them. I miss the atmosphere of the old game. I miss the players who seemed like everyday guys that were grateful to play a game for a living. I miss fans who knew when and how to express their displeasure without being foul and rude, always aware that there were women and children present. I miss fans who didn't leave their seats until the inning was over. I miss Tiger Stadium. Comerica ? Lol
That is so well put and written, I totally agree. And what a great story about grabbing an orange seat. Don't see many of those around. Yeah the baseball players, fans, and stadiums are so different. I'm just grateful to see some of these remnants from time to time, always takes me back to those days. Thanks for watching, I truly appreciate it.
Mickey Cochrane's career so impressed one Oklahoma miner that he named his son for him. Kid by the name of Mantle. Ended up playing a few games at old Tiger Stadium.
I totally agree, I sure miss the old ball parks of the past. Hopefully Fenway and Wrigley can stick around for years to come. Thank you so much for watching and leaving a comment.
DUDE, you have got to get in contact with the members of the HAMTRAMCK STADIUM GROUNDS CREW, formally the Navin Field Grounds Crew. WE HAVE A GRAND CANYON OF RESOURCES AND STORIES FOR YOU ABOUT TIGER STADUM. And if you had've gone down a little further down the street of Michigan Ave., there are tons of stuff, over at BOBCAT BONNIES, AND THE MERCURY BAR. And it's a little bar to the left of the field, that still is open, that was the first place, the 84 TIGERS brought the championship trophy, and had a few drinks!
Oh thank you so much for this, I truly appreciate it. As for Bobcat's and Mercury I did feature them in my first video I did on Tiger Stadium last year. You are right, great places for memorabilia. I've been wanting to get to see the Hamtramck Stadium since it was cleaned up and restored. Hope to be down there soon. Thanks for checking out my video.
Thank you so much for watching and leaving a comment. So exciting you got to see Gibby in a Tiger uniform before he retired. You might be referring to a walk-off HR Gibson hit in May of 1995 into the upper-deck. I believe his HR's that cleared the roof were in 1983 and 1986. Here is a RU-vid link to that 1995 game. Enjoy, it never gets old for me: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mNfYwmS-U4I.htmlsi=IxG914WP7BESGYJ6
I often wonder that too. If Fenway and Wrigley can do it, I think Tiger Stadium could have too. I think the complicated part was the city owning the stadium and saving the stadium was not a priority. I think if it were current day the results would be much different. Thank you so much for watching and leaving a comment.
Watching a game there was magical. I was not at that last game, but was at the last Saturday game a couple days earlier. Of course I watched every moment of that last game on TV. Thanks for sharing a comment and watching, I really appreciate it.
Oh, boy, the crack of that bat in the opening… magical. I sure miss that old stadium… Love the parking sign. Home Run Alley 😊😊😊 Thanks for bringing back such wonderful, rich memories. Happy father’s Day Buddy ✌️
Awe thank you so much Jim. Yeah, this "sequel" was fun to put together. So glad I finally got it out. I hope you had a great Father's Day. I always appreciate your comments.
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment, I do appreciate it. I sure hope you get a chance to take in some of the history of Tiger Stadium while in Detroit.
@@greatlaker Was entertaining and informative. Am sharing with other friends who like to explore new cities . So much history and character for Detroit Tigers, the city , and surrounding area . Keep up the good work. 💪
I had the pleasure and joy to be part of the development team of the Corner Ball Park. As the city had raised the historic stadium, the Old Tiger Stadium Conservancy (who contracted me) worked with PAL with the priority of keep baseball at the this corner. One of the most important goals was to keep the field the exact same dimensions and in the exact same location. The bases are in the exact same spots so kids today can still stand with their baseball bats and mitts in the exact same locations as the Tiger's greatest player. That stadium has really brought an amazing anchor to the Corktown community and brings in people from all over. Although the building is gone for years now, baseball remains at the corner of Michigan and Trumbull.
Thank you so much for this, I had read a while back this was the case (including the flag pole in the field of play) and it's good to hear you confirm the field location. I'm honored you watched my video and added this comment.
With the Corner Ballpark, it's good to check ahead to see if there is an event or call them to see if you can get it. It is not always open. I did go to a college baseball game there back in April and it was free to just walk in. Thank you so much for watching.
The city owned it and just left it to rot. It was a dark time for Detroit and saving the stadium just wasn't a priority. I think if happened now it would have a different outcome. I like the idea of the Corner Ballpark, it would have been nice to at least save a part of the grandstand. I appreciate your comments.
Oh yeah, that was a classic. When I rounded 3rd I kept thinking about Kirk Gibson's HR off Gossage in game 5 of the 1984 World Series. Thank you so much for watching and leaving a comment. I appreciate that memory.
OMG I totally forgot about mail order tickets. I did the same thing. Also I kind of recall getting Tiger tickets at Hudson's (no fee). These were the years before "CTC" tix came along and started adding the fees. Thanks for watching and leaving this memory.
Thank you so much for watching and leaving a comment. I really appreciate it. Such a great place to visit. I can’t wait to get up there in the summer months.
Great to learn about Port Huron and these interesting local history museums! We don't have much experience with the great lakes or its maritime history... really enjoyed hearing about the boat/lighthouse, hadn't heard of a moving "lighthouse" before. I can see that it would be good to plan a couple days to visit the museums and walk around town and visit the river front. Hope you had a good run too!! Thanks Jim! 👍👍
Thanks for checking my video out, had fun with this one. I could have spent a couple more days checking everything out in Port Huron. It's a great place to visit, in the summer there are lots of festivals and parties. Hoping to get back there soon.
Hello my friend. Thanks for taking us to Port Huron. Love all the buildings and historic architecture. Great views of the shops and restaurants. Also nice vintage ship, light house and so much more. Have a great week.🤗🤗
Thank you so much for watching and leaving a comment. I really appreciate it. It was a great day and there is so much more to see in Port Huron. I can’t wait to get back.
