Tiger Stadium

by Irwin J. Cohen, M Rodrigues

Michigan and Trumbull was the address for professional baseball in Detroit for 104 seasons. From 1896 when Bennett Park opened, until the last game at Tiger Stadium in 1999, Michigan and Trumbull was the most famous street corner in Michigan. This book takes you on a visual tour of baseball in the Motor City from the beginning of the Tigers franchise to the historic final game played at Tiger Stadium. Here you will find Tiger legends Cobb, Gehringer, Greenberg, Kaline, Lolich, Trammell, and others, many captured in never before published photographs.

The oldest MLB stadium besides Fenway Park, now being demolished (sigh). I photographed it a few times but never saw a game there. This book was a crash course in Detroit Tigers history for me; I assume longtime Tiger fans would enjoy it.
