And we are back, folks here on the Michigan Insider on the Big 1050 WTCA online at the big 1050.com, Sam Webb.

Mr. Ira Weindrop on the other side, and it is opening day in Detroit, a holiday in these parts, as we just mentioned.

Some changes around the old park.

They said, or I guess it's not the old park yet.

Again, we can't call it that, but it feels like we have settled into being our park

and just some things that you've gotten used to, like that little runway to the mound,

that that's not there anymore.

But you know why they got rid of the runway, right?

Why?

The players asked.

Okay.

I didn't know why.

Yeah, the players asked because the tigers were the last bashed of having that old school

look to the field, and it takes away from some of the pure bounces.

I think it's a big part of it.

The players actually were the ones that asked for that part in particular to be removed.

So that one, because I agree with you, it looked cool.

But when I read why, I was like, all right, if the players want it gone, I have no

problem with it being gone.

The biggest change, Sam, is behind home plate.

Have you seen the, have you seen, we're going to see it, obviously, debut on TV.

If you're going to the game, you're going to see it.
