With over 500 carefully selected photographs, most of which have not been published before, William M. Anderson presents the highlights and lowlights of each season and gives a context for appreciating the Detroit careers of the players whose images grace the pages of the book.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Anderson has written an entertaining and well-researched study of the Detroit Tigers baseball team. As one of the original members of the American League, which was formed in 1901, their history is rich with names like Ty Cobb, Hank Greenberg, and Al Kaline. The photographs collected here, many of which have not been widely available, are clear and well presented. The book is printed on heavy stock paper and is a delight to hold and read. While this is particularly recommended for Midwestern libraries serving Tiger fans, libraries with strong sports collections should also consider purchasing, as it is many notches above the cartloads of sports schlock being published today.

Review
From the corner of Michigan and Trumbull to frontage on Woodward Avenue, the Detroit Tigers have witnessed some of the greatest moments in baseball. Bill Anderson's updated pictorial history includes amazing photographs of these moments and the players, many of which have never before been published and all of which will be treasured by Tigers fans. --Ernie Harwell, Hall of Fame baseball announcer and author of Tuned to Baseball and other books
A must-read for any Tigers fan. The pictures alone give you goosebumps. --Rob Parker, sports columnist at the Detroit News --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

This review is from: The Detroit Tigers: A Pictorial Celebration of the Greatest Players and Moments in Tigers History (Great Lakes Books Series) (Hardcover)
This is an excellent book for all true fans of the Detroit Tigers. It includes the history of the club along with plenty of photos, stories and anecdotes of the great and not so great players and their achievements. A few color photos would have been a nice touch. All pictures are in black and white.
