Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
The Detroit Tigers Reader celebrates the great moments and personalities of the city's rich baseball history.
The story of the Tigers---like the story of Detroit itself---is one of resilience and endurance. For baseball fans it's also an intensely personal one: Detroit Tigers baseball has flowed through the veins of generations of families.
The essays, articles, and letters in The Detroit Tigers Reader capture those stories and the essence of the Tigers' spirit, tracing the history of the team from its very first game on April 25, 1901, up through the arrival of 'Pudge' Rodriguez in 2004. With contributions from some of the greatest sportswriters and athletes, as well as local journalists and fans, The Detroit Tigers Reader charts the highs and lows of one of the most extraordinary and celebrated teams in baseball history.

This book belongs on the shelf of every Detroit Tigers fan. Tom Stanton, who wrote the superb Tiger Stadium memoir The Final Season, did a fine job selecting stories on legends like Ty Cobb, Al Kaline, Hank Greenberg, and The Bird. What I liked best is that the stories were from the time period -- not written decades later by journalists who never saw the men play. There are articles by Grantland Rice, Damon Runyon, and other famous scribes, but some of my favorites are by writers I never heard of. This is a fun read. On these pages, at least, the Tigers once again contend and even play in the World Series.
