This week we head out to Mowtown, U.S.A,, to learn about the rich tradition of baseball in Detroit. A history that goes all the way back to 1867, just two years after the conclusion, of our nation's bloody civil war. Professional baseball dates all the way back to 1884, when the Detroit Wolverines were winning National League pennants, before becoming a part of the Western League's American Association. By 1901. the Tigers have become charter members of the American League. They are the oldest, continuous, one name, one city franchise in the A.L.. We will cover all the bases of their lineage, and discuss the history of two of the most prominent baseball cathedrals in the history of the game; Tigers Stadium and Comerica Park #Detroit Wolverines #DetroitCreams #DetroitTigers #TyCobb #HalNewhouser #CharlieGehringer #AlKaline #HankGreenberg #WillieHorton #MiguelCabrera #FrankNavin #WalterBriggs #JohnFetzer #MikeIilitch #TigersStadium #ComericaPark
