Tiger Stadium (MI) (Images of Baseball) [Paperback] Irwin J. Cohen

This book takes you on a visual tour of baseball in the Motor City from the beginning of the Tigers franchise to the historic final game played at Tiger Stadium.

Michigan and Trumbull was the address for professional baseball in Detroit for 104 seasons. From 1896 when Bennett Park opened, until the last game at Tiger Stadium in 1999, Michigan and Trumbull was the most famous street corner in Michigan. In this book, you will find Tiger legends Cobb, Gehringer, Greenberg, Kaline, Lolich, Trammell, and others, many captured in never before published photographs.

Irwin J. Cohen worked in Tiger Stadium as a writer and photographer and was employed in the front office when the team won the World Series in 1984. He viewed the historic ballpark from every seat as well as from many vantage points not accessible to the public. Mr. Cohen is a member of the Society for American Baseball Research and has written several other books, including Arcadia's Jewish Detroit.
