| Publisher Description: One of the American League's eight charter franchises, the Detroit Tigers baseball club was founded in 1894 and stands as the oldest continuous one-name, one-city franchise in the American League. Some of the greatest in the cunning and speed and was the first to play mind games with opposing players. Mickey Cochrane showed that it was possible to be a manager and player at the same time. Hank Greenburg became one of the greatest home run hitters of all time. In the modern era, Al Kaline, Norm Cash, Mickey Lolich, Jin Northrup, Willie Horton, Kirk Gibson, Cecil Fielder, and Alan Trammell brought the best of baseball to Tigers fans everywhere. Today, all stars such as Miguel Cabrera, Victor Martinez, Johnny Peralta, Prince Fielder, and Justin Verlander keep the club competitive, reaching to World Series just three years ago. The Tigers and Their Dens recalls these stories and plenty more in this official history of a beloved baseball franchise. |
