Good stuff to know about the Detroit Tigers. Inside info and reviews of many eateries in and around Comamerica Park. Although I am an unabashed Cardinal fan, a very good friend from Michigan gave me this book and I enjoyed reading it.

This is a tiny book, but took me forever to read. The reason was that Foster's snippets gave absolutely no information or detail of any kind and, naturally wanting to know and understand at least somewhat just what the heck he was talking about, I would read a page or two and then spend the next two hours on the internet trying to find all the information that Foster had failed to mention. Very frustrating book, but it certainly spurred me into doing a lot of additional research, which is about the only reason why this isn't a one star book.

This book is pretty much self explanatory about what it's about based on the title, the book is all about the Tigers and everything they did to get to where they're at today. The book includes specific events, tells you about the players, everything. I enjoyed this book by Terry Foster.

What I like about the book is just how much you can learn about the Tigers! You learn from the time they started up until now, you learn a lot of specific events that happened with the Tigers.

The only thing I didn't really like about the book, is not even the book's fault. Some of the things I don't understand what the author is talking about simply because I don't follow baseball that much. Maybe what the author should have done is made it better understandable for people who don't know a lot about baseball.

If you consider yourself a true Detroit Tigers fan, this book is a must read. And you will want to read it again as I have restarted it.

Great book for any Tiger fan (or fan of Detroit History). Easy read, with 100 short "chapters/stories". Check it out

Foster should fire his editor.

A good book for a baseball fan that tells you everything there is to know about baseball and the Tigers.
