Day # 3 - Visiting my grandma (not pictured), then on to Detroit to see a Twins game!
My first trip to Detroit, now I can cross of all the AL Central stadiums!
Lots of Tigers in Comerica Park
Lots of statues - here's the Georgia Peach, Ty Cobb.
Hank Greenberg
Another view of the big Left Field Scoreboard
Lots of Tigers outside, too.
Menacing!
Torii Hunter homered in the top of the first inning, made a great catch in the bottom half. The Twins jumped out to an early 6 - 0 lead, and I had a muted and respectful celebration from my seat.
Twins win and tie the Tigers in the standings! One big inning for the Twins, and it was pretty much over from there.
So Cobb has statues of him outside at least two stadiums -- here at Turner Field and in Detroit? That's pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteThe Detroit statues are pretty much all *inside* the stadium - Cobb is part of a row of statues of players with retired numbers (Cobb didn't wear a number, but he gets a plaque / statue / etc anyway.)
