Summary of Home Sweet Home: Memories of Tiger Stadium
When it comes to the grand old ballparks that have been home to Major League Baseball through the years, few have had the endurance and historical significance of Tiger Stadium in Detroit, which hosted its last game at the end of the 1999 baseball season. Since 1912 Tiger Stadium has been a mecca for baseball fans throughout the state of Michigan. Three generations of fans have been witness to the storied exploits of baseball legends like Ty Cobb, Hal Newhauser, Mickey Cochrane, Hank Greenberg, George Kell, and Al Kaline, along with other greats like Denny McLain, Mickey Lolich, Alan Trammel, Jack Morris, Lou Whitaker, and Kirk Gibson."Home Sweet Home: Memories of Tiger Stadium", from "The Detroit News", gives Tigers' fans a lovingly-drawn portrait of one of baseball's great treasure troves of happy memories. This historical reference, told for the most part through over 200 color and black-and-white photos, chronicles all of the greatest events and players that have made Tiger Stadium so special for nine decades. During that time the Tigers have played in six World Series, bringing home the World Championship in 1935, 1945, 1968, and 1984. For generations, "The Detroit News" has been the authoritative source relied upon by Tigers fans. Now the newspaper captures the uniqueness of Tiger Stadium in the beautiful pictorial history, "Home Sweet Home: Memories of Tiger Stadium". Foreword by Al Kaline!
