Ever wondered how a single year could define a city’s sports legacy? Join us as we revisit the exhilarating year of 1935 when Detroit's Lions, Tigers, and Red Wings each clinched their first championships, earning the city the moniker "City of Champions." We’ll also marvel at the incredible rise of Joe Lewis during this golden era. From historical victories to personal anecdotes, we'll discuss the joy of experiencing live sports, as showcased by a memorable birthday spent at a Tigers game, proving that the love for the game transcends knowledge.

Our narrative takes you through the inspiring story of three Detroit teams achieving their first championships in one breathtaking season. We shine a spotlight on the often overlooked athletes and historical moments that contributed to this spectacular achievement, like Eddie Tolan's influence. As we express our gratitude for your continued support and engagement, we look forward to delving into the Detroit Tigers' storied past, culminating in the celebration of Champions Day on April 18th. And don't miss our thrilling plans to possibly bring the Stanley Cup to mark the 90th anniversary of these remarkable victories.

Imagine gathering all the major sports trophies Detroit has ever won under one roof! We discuss our ambitious plan to do just that, exploring the logistics and challenges of coordinating with museums and securing venues like the Grosse Pointe Yacht Club. From the Harmsworth Trophy to the 1935 Stanley Cup band, we'll cover it all. Along the way, we share unique baseball stories, such as Del Baker’s influence on Schoolboy Rowe and Hank Greenberg’s transformation into a defensive powerhouse. Relive the days when young stars sweated it out in Beaumont, Texas, and discover how their journeys intertwined with the legacy that defines Detroit sports.
