A decent burial
The people who think that the group of baseball fans who have been trying to save Tiger Stadium from demolition will raise the money they need by Aug. 1 to turn aside the wrecking ball are the same kind of folks who believe Barak Obama is going to give them $4,000 to go to college.
I like and admire Ernie Harwell and Gary Spicer. They are good people whose hearts are in the right place. I, too, have revered the old ball yard at the corner of Michigan and Trumbull. I saw most of the biggest football and baseball stars of the 20th century perform there.
Mickey Mantle and Ted Williams, Al Kaline and Mickey Lolich, Bobby Layne, Johnny Unitas, Bart Starr and Jimmy Brown.
Tiger Stadium has provided too many fond memories to allow it to deteriorate and become yet another Detroit landmark eyesore.
It's time to move on. Let's give it a decent burial.
