Stranded at the Corner
- Released on
- Runtime
- 93 mins
The Detroit Tigers played baseball at "The Corner" of Michigan and Trumbull avenues every summer from 1896 through 1999, a span of 104 summers. When team owner Mike Ilitch moved the Tigers into Comerica Park in 2000 with the help of public funds, it marked the end of an era -- but it didn't erase the affection many fans still hold for one of America's last remaining classic-era ballparks. This documentary celebrates Tiger Stadium's rich history, recounts the long struggle to keep the team from abandoning the old park, and takes a critical look at its current state of neglect.
