Tales from the Detroit Tigers Dugout

The Detroit Tigers are among baseball's most celebrated franchises. Four World Championships and five other World Series appearances are the result of some of the game's greatest players having worn the old English "D." Names like Cobb and Kaline, Greenberg and Gehringer, and Gibson and Trammell starred during their days as Tigers. Readers will delight to these old and new anecdotes about Detroit baseball lore, recalling colorful players like pitchers Denny McLain and Mickey Lolich; the '84 Tigers' brilliant 35-5 start en route to a championship; and the 1999 finale at venerable Tiger Stadium when nearly 200 of its former stars returned for one last hurrah.
