Description

The Detroit Tigers were founding members of the American League and have been the Motor City’s team for more than a century. However the Wolverines were the city’s first major league club, playing within the National League beginning in 1881 and capturing the pennant in 1887. Playing in what was once then probably the most best possible ballparks in The us, all over an era when Detroit was once referred to as the “Paris of the West,” the team battled hostile National League owners and struggled with a fickle fan base to grow to be world champions, before financial woes led to their being disbanded in 1888. This first-ever history of the Wolverines covers the team’s rise and abrupt fall and the powerful men in the back of it.
