   They don't in Detroit.  They have 5 grounds crew personnel with the big
brooms that groom the infield after the 5th inning.  If you've never seen
the "Herbie Redmond Show", you're missing something special.  I guess De-
troit is just too traditional; no golf cart for the infield or for the
relief pitchers, no artificial turf, no "mascot", etc.  But they did invest
$2 million in a very nice electronic scoreboard back in 1979, and they do
have lights (GASP!).  This raises an interesting question:
   * Which stadium upholds the best traditions of major league baseball?
     I think almost everyone would agree Wrigley Field, with maybe Fenway
     or Yankee Stadium in second.
   * Also-
   
     IS THERE ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO PREVENT THIS DAMN STRIKE FROM OCCURING?
    
  
Like, good day, eh?
