Cecil Fielder takes to the roof at Tiger Stadium for a smoke and a little batting practice, July 22, 1993. Actually, Fielder just wanted to see where his monster home run had landed a month before. He had just won the IBM Tale of the Tape award for longest home run in the month of June, a regular occurrence for the first baseman. Cecil’s blast—hit on June 24 –traveled 475 feet and landed on the left field roof.
Tiger Stadium
The Tigers weren’t the only cats at the corner of Michigan and Trumbull. The Detroit Lions also called the stadium home from 1938 through 1974. The team won their last championship there as the Lions defeated the Cleveland Browns 59-14 behind quarterback Kyle Rote’s four touchdown passes and one run for a score Dec. 18, 1957. The Lions also won their first championship at Tiger Stadium, again against the Browns in 1953.
