Book Description

The 50 Greatest Detroit Tigers brings to life fabulous and famous moments in team history, from Ty Cobb's masterful wizardry that brought him 12 batting championships, to Al Kaline becoming the youngest player to win an American League batting title. Not only are memorable pennants and World Series championships covered through the achievements of the best players to ever wear the famed English "D" on the front of their jerseys, but insights reveal what Miguel Cabrera was thinking when he won a Triple Crown and what some forgotten great Tigers of the past did during their starring years with the franchise. World Series titles won in 1935, 1945, 1968 and 1984 can be relived through the accomplishments of the greatest Tigers of the past from Hank Greenberg to Charlie Gehringer and Hal Newhouser. Many became Hall of Famers, enshrined in Cooperstown, and it can clearly be argued that others such as Alan Trammel and Lou Whitaker belong there. Book jacket.
