Review
Ethan Casey and Michael Betzold have done us all a favor by recalling the many wonderful, funny, and sad events that have taken place at Michigan and Trumbell. Every Tiger fan should have a copy. --Lawrence Ritter, Author of The Glory of Their Times
This is inspired stuff. . . Queen of Diamonds offers important lessons about a greedy owner and two-faced politicos --Ian Thomsen, Detroit Free Press
Queen of Diamonds is both a gripping account of the grassroots efforts to save Detroit's Tiger Stadium, and a cautionary tale exhibiting an unusually sane sense of the appropriate role of professional sports in the late twentieth century American life. Anyone who reads this book and considers carefully the various issues that it raises, and who still thinks that a publicly financed new stadium in Detroit is preferable to the renovation of Tiger Stadium, lacks either brains or heart. --Philip Bess, Chicago architect and author of City Baseball Magic:Â Plain Talk and Uncommon Sense about Cities and Baseball Parks
