Ernie Harwell: Save Tiger Stadium!

The Bobby Layne movie really needs to get made. Matthew McConaghey is an utter lock to play Layne (kinda goofy-dopey-sounding blonde Texas party animal). I'm thinking Chris Cooper as coach Buddy Parker (at Layne's shoulder).

Rock and roll, 50s Thunderbirds, boozing, broads and brawling -- what more do you want?

 

Sure, the seats from Canvas Alley to where the seats jut out down the third base line are good, but you wouldn't catch me anywhere from Sec. 3-7. The Monster Seats are still the most overrated seats in sports. Every other city they are called upper deck.

 

They are overrated, but at least the ballpark does not have an overriding urine stench anymore.

 

No, because the St. Mikes Majors are owned by Eugene Melnyk who owns the Senators. No way those douchebags at MLSE would ever do something like that.

The team has since moved to Mississauga, just outside of Toronto.

 

And then they renovated another arena for the AHL team, which I didn't understand.
