Bush Stadium
Yes, Bush Stadium. The once iconic and beautiful Bush Stadium on West 16th Street. If you have lived in Indianapolis for any number of years, you will remember when the Indianapolis Indians played there. The era before Victory Field.
There has been discussions lately about what to do with the old ball park. Some say tear it down, some say restore it. Me, I say tear it down, use the land for something that will help revive the near west side of Indy. Put a small museum on the site so future generations can glimpse into the past.
I remember when the Indians were the minor league team for the Cincinnati Reds...back in the day of Pete Rose, Joe Morgan and others. I remember when the Reds played the Indians in an exhibition game. This is all history; a good and happy history. But it is history. Let's move on.
Another Realtor® from the Detroit, Michigan area posted a wonderful blog about Tiger Stadium. It has seen a lot more history and holds tons more memories than Bush Stadium, but the feelings are the same. Read his blog here. I say tear it down and let's move on.
