The Detroit Tigers are among baseball’s most celebrated franchises. Four World Championships and five other World Series appearances are the result of someof the game’s greatest players having worn the old English “D.” Names like Cobband Kaline, Greenberg and Gehringer, and Gibson and Trammell starred during their days as Tigers. Readers will delight to these old and new anecdotes aboutDetroit baseball lore, recalling colorful players like pitchers Denny McLain andMickey 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 starsreturned for one last hurrah.
