Description
The story of the Tigers—like the tale of Detroit itself—is certainly one of resilience and endurance. For baseball fans it is usually an intensely personal one: Detroit Tigers baseball has flowed in the course of the veins of generations of families.
The essays, articles, and letters in The Detroit Tigers Reader capture the ones stories and the essence of the Tigers’ spirit, tracing the history of the team from its first game on April 25, 1901, up in the course of the arrival of “Pudge” Rodriguez in 2004. With contributions from one of the most greatest sportswriters and athletes, in addition to local journalists and fans, The Detroit Tigers Reader charts the highs and lows of one of the strange and celebrated teams in baseball history.
