I was about four years old. I remember riding in my mom’s car on the freeway and seeing an armored personnel carrier drive by.

I knew there were riots but probably had no idea what that meant.

My dad worked in the riot zone and didn’t go to work that day.

I was nine that year and very disappointed our Little League trip to watch a game at Tiger Stadium was cancelled, especially since that was the year the Tigers won the pennant and World Series...Al Kaline, Jim Northrup, Norm Cash, Willy Horton, Mickey Lolich, Mickey Stanley, Earl Wilson, Dick Mcauliffe, Bill Freehan, Gates Brown...what a team!
