With the off-season now upon us (sigh)....thought I& #39;d share some of my favorite pictures of the ballpark from this past summer, from those nights when the team was on the road, and we had the ballpark to ourselves....1/
I& #39;ve always loved walking the upper deck...brings back memories of Tiger Stadium - and the only place I would ever sit...2/
....and yes, while you& #39;re farther away at Comerica, I really found I enjoyed the view from every seat, even the last seat in the last row....3/

You did have to watch where you were walking at all times....5/
My favorite pics are from one of the last nights, spending time with Willie, Ty, Hank, Charlie, Hal and Al at sunset, feeling their spirit in a ballpark whose beauty I was appreciating from a whole new perspective. 6/
I also had a renewed appreciation for the detail in each statue, how phenomenal each one is....7/
Charlie and Hank....8/
....I& #39;m still hoping one day we& #39;ll see a ball land in Al& #39;s glove (there are spikes in it, just in case).....9/
....Willie. Just love how this statue captures his powerful swing - a swing that captured the imagination of a certain young Tigers fan starting in 1968....10/
