The ballpark reminds me of family

Journalism day at Tiger Stadium evoked fond memories of the fact that it’s not just a game. As cliché as it sounds, it’s more than a baseball game. It’s a hit, a run, a cheer and some groans. It’s old men trying to keep score, yelling at the umps when they make bad calls. It’s a group of 20-year-old girls posing in attempts to get the perfect selfie to show they’re “not like the other girls, they like baseball." It's parents bringing their kids to expose them to the same childhood they had. It’s the Ferris wheel and the merry go round. It’s the smell of roasted almonds, hot dogs, pizza, frozen lemonade and pretzels.
