Product Description
A beautiful portrait of one of baseball's troves of memories, this historical reference -- mostly through pictures -- chronicles the team's greatest moments over the past nine decades. During that time, the Tigers played in six World Series, winning four times -- in 1935, 1945, 1968, and 1984.

 Great picture book on Tiger Stadium January 25, 2001
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
This is mostly photographs of the happenings at Detroit ball parks. There were several older parks before Tiger Stadium. Several of the ball players, such as Ty Cobb, Charlie Gehringer, and Al Kaline are in the write-ups. It even had a boxing match by Joe Louis and Bob Pastor at the stadium.

This book is great for a collection of lasting images of the stadium. It covers the long history with a number of beautiful shots. It is not the book to get for a history of the stadium because it only contains a few musings. There are some great books out there that detail the history of the stadium and for that information go there, but on a coffee table for the casual fan this is a good book.
 A poor attempt to honor a great stadium! July 30, 1999
16 out of 17 found this review helpful
It was well known that Tiger Stadium's last days would come in 1999 a few years ago, so it's hard to figure why the Detroit News couldn't put together a better book honoring one of the greatest baseball stadiums of all time. The photos are fine, but there is little to be desired in terms of text. I'm pretty sure the only text that is included at the beginning of the book actually is reprinted from past editions of their paper at the beginning of the 1999 baseball season. Boo to the Detroit News for failing miserably in its attempt to honor Tiger Stadium. I expected much better.
