I never got the chance to get to Detroit to see a game, which saddens me. I've seen the outside of Wrigley, but it was March, so no game that day. Later that same year ('91) I happened to drive by new Comiskey Park while they were tearing down the old park, where my grandfather used to take my mom and aunt to games. All that was left was the scoreboard. And the Cubs were out of town.
On the other hand, I did see a game at the Polo Grounds, and a couple in pre-refurb Yankee Stadium. And I went to a Beach Boys/Poco concert at Roosevelt Stadium before they tore it down.

Troy Percival was pitching and the Tigers hitters were fouling everything straight back. I felt like I was strafed by baseballs.
