Overview

For over a century, the Detroit Tigers have stood as a pillar of tradition, resilience, and pride in the heart of the Motor City. Roar of the Motor City is the definitive chronicle of one of baseball's oldest and most storied franchises - from its gritty early days in the Deadball Era to its modern pursuit of championship glory. This sweeping, deeply researched narrative captures every defining moment in Tigers history. Relive the fire of Ty Cobb, the courage of Hank Greenberg, and the class of Al Kaline. Revisit the dramatic highs of 1935, 1968, and 1984, and the near-misses and heartbreaks of the 21st century. From the iconic Tiger Stadium to Comerica Park, from Denny McLain's 31-win season to Miguel Cabrera's Triple Crown, the Tigers' journey is brought to life in full color and vivid detail. More than a collection of seasons and stats, this book explores how the Tigers became a symbol of Detroit itself - resilient through hardship, defiant in decline, and always roaring back. With compelling storytelling and rich historical insight, this is the ultimate tribute to the Tigers, their legends, and the fans who've lived every pitch. Whether you're a lifelong follower or a new fan eager to learn, Roar of the Motor City is the essential guide to the past, present, and enduring spirit of Tigers baseball.
