The Detroit Free Press has delivered.
To celebrate the Detroit Tigers‘ quasquicentennial − that’s 125 seasons of baseball from 1901-2025 − the Free Press composed a 208-page hardcover, coffee-table book to chronicle the history of the city’s beloved boys of summer.
From Ty Cobb to Al Kaline to Miguel Cabrera to Tarik Skubal. From championships during the Depression, after World War II, after devasting riots and with a 35-5 start. From no-hitters to Triple Crowns (hitting and pitching) to a 30-game winner to a 28-out perfect game.
It is all in “Roar of 125: The Epic History of the Detroit Tigers!”
“Roar of 125” features 208 glossy pages with dynamic photos, behind-the-scenes stories and in-depth profiles.
