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.

Genuine fans take the best team moments with the less than great, and know that the games that are best forgotten make the good moments truly shine. This monumental book of the Detroit Tigers documents all the best moments and personalities in the history of the team, but also unmasks the regrettably awful and the unflinchingly ugly. In entertaining—and unsparing—fashion, this book sparkles with Tigers highlights and lowlights, from wonderful and wacky memories to the famous and infamous. Such moments include the impressive run to the World Series in 2006 and the clutch hitting of Kirk Gibson in 1984, as well as the horrendous years when the Tigers were in the cellar of their division and the particularly disastrous 2003 season. Whether providing fond memories, goose bumps, or laughs, this portrait of the team is sure to appeal to the fan who has been through it all.
