Book Description | The Tigers of '68 is the uproarious, stirring tale of this team-a group of hell-raisers who brawled on the field and partied hard afterward. This book revisits the main performers of this illustrious team and weaves their stories into a cohesive narrative that captures all the drama and color of Detroit's 1968 season Hailed as a "sparkling saga" by Library Journal, Cantor's account relives a championship before the days of runaway salaries, divisional championships, drug suspensions, and designated hitters. |
Editorial Review | This sparkling saga is recommended for most sport shelves. * Library Journal * Profiles of numerous team members, including fun-loving slugger Norm Cash and future Hall-of-Famer Al Kaline, round out this solid choice for most baseball collections. * Booklist * |
