Cathedral at The Corner where - together with great-grandparents, grandparents,
parents, uncles, aunts, siblings, children, godchildren, & friends - we have cheered
our Detroit Tigers. Although the structure is gone, the memories remain...
"It was a night game, the field a shade of green that was the most beautiful color
I'd ever seen, the smells, sounds, and sights of the pre-game action delightfully
overwhelming... the air filled with the bouquet of hot dogs, spilt beer, and a cigar
aroma much like that of the House of Windsor stogies preferred by my Dad.
Cries of the vendors peddling those items pierced the air. Several Tigers were
engaged in a game of pepper along the box seats down the right field foul line,
as nearby Bill Freehan tossed a ball back 'n forth with a teammate, entertaining
the fans by playfully catching the ball behind his back."
Doc will share stories from the book of the characters on the field, in the stands,
and those in the neighborhoods surrounding the ballpark, as well as about the
broadcasters who brought the action to us when we couldn't be there ourselves.
