Here is Sports Illustrated's
ranking of the major league ballparks as polled by fans. My personal favorite,
old Tiger Stadium (neé Navin Field, neé Briggs Stadium) hasn't been occupied since the Tigers left in 1999 and will be demolished soon. Here's
another neat site for Tiger fans that tells the history of the ballparks that stood at Michigan and Trumbull in downtown Detroit. Once a year, if I was lucky, I could get my dad to take me and a couple of friends up to Detroit for a ballgame. Sitting in the upper deck in right field one time we watched
Stormin' Norman Cash hit one over our heads and onto the roof. The pictures of an empty, abandoned Tiger Stadium make me nostalgic and a little sad.
You know your problems are few and your blessings are many if this is
the headline in your hometown paper:
Passengers inconvenienced when doors of Tokyo subway train don't open
No!! Say it isn't so!! What is to be next? Godzilla returning to crush us? Aieeeee!! Please open the doors!!
Here's an interesting site with a discussion of the movie "Expelled" and Ben Stein's recent hyperbolic comments concerning the role of science in the Holocaust. I like their pantheon of "Chicago Boyz" at the top of the home page.
This is a bit odd. Food Fight is a re-creation of wars fought since, and including, WWII. Countries are represented by foods characteristic of their national identity (e.g. hamburgers for the US, sausages for Germany). You can get banned from participating in graduation ceremonies for this kind of thing...or so I've heard.
