in '99. the stadium was demolished in 2009. home plate's still here. for guys like ty cobb, ted williams and babe ruth hit his 700th home run from here. those who appreciate the park's 87 year history come back to take pictures and even toss one in the strike zone. but according to david mercy, the city doesn't want them to do even that. mercy's group, the field grounds crew comes in to keep the field from becoming a field of weeds. >> a group of us decided we hated to see it in that condition. and so we took hadders into our own hand and started to come on to the field and cut the grass and pick up the garbage and do our best to restore it to -- to the field of dreams we remember it as. >> reporter: this is a picture of mercy at home plate last year. flanked by tall weeds. they are getting no help from the city. it's neighborhoods and

buildings in disarray with little budget to spend, to raise awareness, major league baseball endorsed a billboard sized screen to be placed in center field to show tonight's game. the city pulled the project. >> we're just glad the field is here for people to come here and play ball on and to run the bases and pay homage to detroit's rich baseball history. >> reporter: all right, and they will enjoy baseball over there for as long as they can dennis. there may be plans for a future site on that location to be a possible home of the detroit red wings if the order cannot get a new stadium in this area. comerica park and ford field, home of the detroit lions about a block away. coming up dennis, next hour, his jersey is retired number 21 by the detroit pistons, he is the mayor of this fine city of detroit. dave bing will join us and give us his memories of the battles
