June 27, 2008 (Detroit)

The start of the Midwest Road Trip, taking me to 3 different stadiums. The first stop is Comerica Park in Detroit.

I got there late, because of a late arrival flight, and the long bus ride from the airport to downtown. After checking in at a hotel only a block away, I got to the ballpark, but the game was already in the 2nd inning.

Tigers everywhere. This ballpark has a lot of tiger statues, including one guarding one of the gates. And a merry-go-round of tigers instead of horses, and showcasing a different decade of team history throughout the concourse.

A interleague matchup between the Detroit Tigers and Colorado Rockies. When Tigers starter Eddie Bonine did not allow a hit going into the 5th inning, I started to think no-hitter. But he gave up in that inning, but the Tigers won the game 7-1. A tiger roar can be heard everytime athe Tigers scored. We were treated with fireworks after the game, which I enjoyed.

I decided to take in another game in its entirety, and hope to see more of the ballpark then.
