5.0 out of 5 stars
Possibly the Best Sports Book Ever,
By Neil deMause (Brooklyn, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Queen of Diamonds: The Tiger Stadium Story (Paperback)
I've read way more than my share of books on the machinations of the sports industry, and nothing -- nothing -- comes close to the combination of insightful reporting, trenchant analysis, and sheer fandom that is Queen of Diamonds. The nearly century-long history of Tiger Stadium, and the bitter battle to try to save it, is one of the great sports stories of our time, and Betzold and Casey make every moment of it come alive, from Ty Cobb's violent outbursts to the infamous "rusty girder" speech of Tigers president Bo Schembechler. Highly recommended for anyone who cares about baseball, our national heritage, or life in America's cities.
