VIDEO: Fick’s grand slam and post-game celebration at Tiger Stadium in 1999

As we remember the 100th anniversary of the opening of Tiger Stadium (then known as Navin Field), we look back at the last game played there, on September 27, 1999. This video shows the final inning and a half, including Robert Fick’s dramatic grand slam home run and the final pitch. It also shows the post-game ceremony, where many Tigers legends came back to the field where they played. Don’t miss seeing Al Kaline, Lou Whitaker and Alan Trammell, Mark Fidrych, Willie Horton, Kirk Gibson, and Mickey Lolich in uniform again.
