Baseball Stadiums of the Past...

Here is a thread to post pictures of baseball stadiums that are no longer hosts to Major League games, where you watched baseball growing up.  Also, give a picture of one or two of your favorite players who played in that Stadium for the home team.

Thanks Gary for posting Tiger Stadium.
They recently announced they were tearing it down. Comerica Park is OK, but I really miss sitting in the center field bleachers, upper deck, looking right over the pitcher's shoulder and calling balls and strikes.
