Outside Tiger Stadium, "it's just as if there wasn't a ball game," said Walter Goolsby, assistant superintendent of the city Department of Public Works. GOOLSBY SAID that 30 sanitation employees worked overtime to rid the area of the bottles, cans and other debris left behind by revelers during a spree of vandalism and violence Sun- day night. City officials, eager to put those hours of destruction in the past and em- phasize the community's pride in the team that brought the Series trophy back to Tiger Town, scheduled a parade and rally in the team's honor today. But the scars remained inside the stadium, where jubilant fans ripped out hunks of turf, gate markers and even the seats. "THEY'RE A bunch of hoodlums," Tigers General Manager Jim Campbell said Monday. "I wish they'd stay away." Work crews will spend the next mon- th repairing damage - nearly twice as long as the usual postseason repairs, according to stadium manager Ralph Snyder. "Sometime during the night all our' gate signs were stolen," Snyder said, adding that souvenir-hungry fans carried away a number of stadium seats. THE TIGERS boosted their regular staff with several dozen temporary workers to form a total work crew of about 65 employees, he said. The team would not be able to estimate the cost of the damage until the end of the week, Snyder said. Detroit police and hospitals late Monday afternoon still were tallying up the toll from the jubilation following Detroit's 8-4 victory in the fifth and final game of the Series. SCORES OF police, some clad in riot gear, some brandishing broken boards, struggled for hours to control the crowds. One police car was burned and three sustained major damage. Thirty four people, including two juveniles, were arrested on charges ranging from disorderly conduct to unarmed robbery, said police Lt. Fred Williams. Four officers were hurt, but none required hospitalization, he said. Three area hospitals said they treated at least 80 people for injuries sustained in the violence after the game. Ten people were admitted, and three required surgery, they said. AN ASSOCIATED Press reporterl covering the celebration was cut by1 flying glass from a broken beer bottle,t but sought his own treatment. The atmosphere was almost festive in the trauma unit at Detroit Receiving Hospital, which treated 32 times its normal patient load in the 12 hours after the game. "The people who were in there for treatment all had something in com- mon," said hospital spokeswoman Susan Mozena. "The emergency room staff wore Tiger caps. It was kind oft like a party atmosphere." Tram scams Trans-Am DETROIT (AP) - Detroit Tiger shortstop Alan Trammell, who was voted most valuablle player of the World Series, picked up the keys to a shiny new Pontiac Trans Am yesterday and promptly dubbed it "Tram's Am." The car, which is awarded to the MVP by Sport Magazine, was presen- ted to Trammell during a brief ceremony in Tiger Stadium - on the grass just behind his infield position. "I HOPE I don't miss 'em," Tram- mell said when photographers begged him to toss the keys in the air. "The season's over now. so we don't want an E6. That's happened before!" Indeed, Trammell made one har- mless error in Game 2 of the World Series, but it was just about his only mistake as he helped the powerful Tigers brush aside the San Diego Padres four games to one. "I know how Detroit has waited and this is a special thrill," Trammell said. "The thing is, though, I think Jack Morris and Kirk Gibson were deserving of MVP too. But, we've had somebody different every night. We weren't a one- man team this year." NOR WAS Trammell a one-man gang during the series. However, he did hit .450, including a pair of homers in the fourth game. He drove in six runs and scored five. "There's no quesion that Game 4 was the biggest one I've ever had," Tram- mell said. "I've had some nights during the season, but this was by far the biggest. This was the World Series. "Saturday night, after hitting those two home runs, I had trouble sleeping, I was so wound up. As a result, I was drained Sunday (when he was hitless in four at-bats)." A great day for Tigers .0 4 Assocated rress Despite being eliminated by the Tigers on Sunday, Steve Garvey receives a hero's welcome from a few of the some 15,000 Padres fans that greeted the losers early yesterday morning at San Diego's Jack Murphy Stadium. ... but not for Detroit The bright orange flames grew more intense and the thick grey smoke billowed up in the night air, and with it, the unmistakeable odor of burning rubber. The motorcycle resting several feet away from the fiery automobile was soon engulfed by the blaze. The crowd cheered. Standing on the roof of Tiger Stadium around 11:00 o'clock Sunday night, a mass of onlookers, mostly members of the media and Detroit Tiger em- ployees, myself included, stared in amazement at the mob surrounding the burning taxi cab below. A reporter from San Francisco said, "This is the worst thing that could have happened to Detroit. It's a shame." "Oh," I said sarcastically, "didn't you know, those are San Diego fans, mad because they lost." "Yeah, right," he answered. For the first time, I wished the Detroit Tigers, a team I had cheered and loved since childhood, had lost that game. I wished them on a flight back to San Diego so they could capture the World Series away from the Motor City. The so-called fans lingering on the corner of Michigan and Trumbull did not deserve the celebration. They were incapable of any resemblance of humane actions. They ruined the ecstacy that could have made for a mar- velous night. The mania on the streets four hours after the game was, in all fairness, probably ignited by those few creatures, probably unable to worm their way into the stadium. They are the sort that thrive on destruction. They are the sort that give Detroit the bad reputation it has. Local newspapers claim the 1984 riot was a game of tiddlywinks com- pared to the 1968 version. I don't know about that, I was six years old. All I know is what I saw from my rooftop vantage point. And what I saw sickened me. Whatever you viewed on the 11:00 news that night, multiply it by at least ten because you only caught a glimpse. The "celebration" had turned into a frenzied free-for-all of violence. They fought the cops, they fought, stabbed and even murdered one another and ruined a perfectly wonderful experience of a championship ball club, with this animalistic behavior. Four cars, three police cars and the blazing cab lay demolished on Michigan Avenue windows smashed and tires flat. One of the cars could have been the loser in demolishion derby. Passersby, ignorant of the severity of the violence, and police alike were pelted with bottles and rocks. The crowd attacked the bus that carried the Michigan Marching Band, breaking every window. By the time the crowd had gathered again around the impromtu bonfire, the mounted division of the Detroit Police Department lined up and chased the masses into the surrounding alleys. All the while, these people continued the barrage of bottles, aiming them this time at the horses. I had seen more than enough. The Tiger officials were kicking the'repor- ters off the roof - a very goodmove. No need to hand the country a birds-eye view of the atrocity. I was ready to get back to the saneness of Ann Arbor, but the police had advised the Tiger PR department not to let the press out of the stadium. They said it was impossible to get downtown to hotels. The riotous mob had moved into the heart of the city. Reports said cars were being turned over on Jefferson Avenue. As I walked back to the public relations room where I was working, I noticed that Mike Downey, columnist kor the Detroit Free Presi, was working on a feature of some Tiger star or another. "Aren't you going to write about the idiots down there on the street?" I asked. "Are yod" crazy?" he replied, amazed by the suggestion of offending thousands of Tiger fans. "Well that's what I'm going to be doing tomorrow." "What, do you write for some kind of underground newspaper or jsomething?" he questioned. "No," I said, "I write for the Michigan Daily." "Same thing," he grunted and went back to work. By the time they gave us the o.k. to leave, it was after midnight. Only a' scattered few remained on the streets, the rest presumably headed down- town. I walked onto a sheet of broken glass that had replaced Michigan Avenue and wished that I hadn't gone up on that roof. This was the last thing anybody wanted to see after the dream year that the Detroit Tigers gave to the city. It is so ironic that some "people" chose to end such a history making season. Just thank God that it's over. GRIDDE PICKS L4I'ORK NG RPR ENEFSy NDERENDENCE NKD\IAL SBZURI/ AND A.QJALIY '*EN F0NMENT ON CAMPUS_ TUESDAY OCTOBER 30.
