Thanks Eric. I saw the last game at Crosley a few weeks later. We thought Riverfront was great......for a while. Then it hit us; we'd lost something when Crosley was demolished. Great times.

@bblake1000 I grew up in Detroit in 1960's, and Tiger Stadium was a great baseball stadium. The main problem, though, was that the roof was held up by posts, and the posts blocked vision of some fans. During the 1968 World Series, it was suggested that the seats behind the posts be given to blind people. I am serious.

@TheRealJamDawg I remember seeing Crosley Field in the late 1960's as we passed by on I-75. We lived in Detroit, and most Summers back then would travel to Murray, Kentucky, to visit my father's relatives. The route took us down I-75 from Detroit to Cincinnati, and Crosley Field was right along the way.

My father, who was from SW Kentucky, saw his first Major League baseball game in 1929 (he was 19 at the time) at Crosley Field in Cincinnati. They announced that there were 10,000 people in attendance. He had never seen so many people in one place at one time!

@EricH9022 You are correct, sir!

Looks like Reds had attendance issues in 1970 too.

@TitaniumByFire hey, went to old tiger stadium in, like, 2003 or whatever year it closed. gorgeous place -- not a bad seat in the house, what with the upper deck overhangs. they played pittsburgh and saw one of those rarities, a HR over the roof in right-center. cant remember who hit it. place was near-empty. good news: the new comerica is a super ball park as well.

Trivia question: who hit the last home run ever at Crosley Field? It was the most underrated ballplayer of the 1970s. Now that's the best clue you will ever get.

@DrDupe I would have said Johnny Bench as he had over 40 HR that year, or maybe Tony Perez, but since you said "most underrated" I would have to say........Lee May????????

I was 15 years old when my family went to Crosley Field on a Sunday afternoon to see the Reds play the defending World Series Champion New York Mets. My father filmed part of this game and I post it here for your enjoyment. -- Eric Hurst
