Attendance at games is double that of early in the season, with 35,000 to 40,000 coming to the wobbly stadium to see the worst team in baseball. But it's not about baseball anymore. They come to remember, and they come to forget. In a world of Bill and Monica, of Jerry Springer and Snoop Doggy Dog, baseball remains much the same as when Tiger Stadium first opened. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers.
Today is the last day for public tours of thefield, dugout and visitors locker room.
Victories and losses come and go. But the Corner was always there. I won't be bringing my son to the Corner anymore. Including tonight's game against the Baltimore Orioles, there are only 18 home games remaining. With Tiger Stadium in its final home stretch, fans from Detroit and around the nation are flocking to the corner of Michigan and Trumbull for a final look at the fabled park.
