Growing up, I always viewed Tiger Stadium as this big white castle. It was magical to me. The first time I ever went to Tiger Stadium was as a child in elementary school. It was safety boy day so they took us. It was like walking into Disney World to me. Whenever I rode or walked by the stadium during a game, the atmosphere was intoxicating. So many people, happy, from all walks of life going to the castle. I left detroit in 1994. I was saddened to hear and see pictures of Tiger Stadium demolished or in the process of being demolished. It was like a death in my family. As with anything else in life, things change. Room has to be made for new things. I will forever keep that beautiful white castle in my heart. It is a part of being a Detroiter.. When I was birthed back in 1966, I know, ancient, my family lived one block south of Tiger Stadium off of Trumbull.

Ojalá no veamos luego a los tigres de Ohio en el Bank of America Stadium o algo por el estilo. Esa es parte de la inocencia y pureza que se ha perdido, como comentaba Rogelio. Saludos a todos y felicidades por la revista.

It represents the time in Detroit that was innocent and heroic in the sense that the 50's and 60's, at least, seem to be in our memories. It was magic, as you say.
