DETROIT (AP) -Demolition crews are smashing the historic walls of Tiger Stadium, giving passers-by a clear view of the interior of the Detroit ballpark that stood for decades.
Outfield walls cleared by baseball legends Babe Ruth and Mickey Mantle as well as Detroit Tiger sluggers Norm Cash and Cecil Fielder are coming down.
Farrow Group owner Michael Farrow says crews plan to spend all day Wednesday demolishing some of the stadium’s massive concrete walls. The demolition of the ballpark started last week.
City officials say an Aug. 1 deadline still stands for a nonprofit group to raise enough funds to preserve the field and part of the stadium between first and third base.
