The Detroit News,
THEY EARNED THEIR STRIPES: The Detroit Tigers All-Time Team.
NEW copy, oversized hardcover with dust jacket.
(Sports Publishing Inc, 2000). Forward by Alan Trammell.
Profusely illustrated with large-format photographs, 176 pages.
~~~ The all-time Detroit Tiger team, as recently determined by fan balloting, was announced at the conclusion of the 1999 season at the time the final game was played in historic Tiger Stadium. With the opening of a brand-new stadium, Comerica Park, in April 2000, this book looks back over a century of Tiger baseball and highlights the careers of not only the all-time team but many other great Tiger players as well. The all-time team consists of Sparky Anderson, manager; Bill Freehan, catcher; Hank Greenberg, first base; Charlie Gehringer, second base; George Kell, third base; Alan Trammell, shortstop; Ty Cobb, Al Kaline, and Kirk Gibson, outfield; and Hal Newhouser, Jack Morris, Mickey Lolich, and John Hiller, pitchers. Cochrane, Kuenn, Colavito, Horton, Cash, and many other Tiger greats from the past and present are also featured, as are memorable World Series moments, historic home runs, and great hitting and pitching performances.
~~~ Hardcover originally published at $29.95, now OUT OF PRINT.

Ward, Geoffrey C. and Ken Burns,
BASEBALL: AN ILLUSTRATED HISTORY.
~~~This companion volume to the acclaimed PBS series
chronicles the story of our national pastime--the "game" woven so deeply
into our culture that it provides a common language for all our people.
9 1/4" x 11". Color & b&w photos.
From the Publisher The authors of the acclaimed and history-making
nationwide best-seller The Civil War now turn to the other defining
American phenomenon. Their subject is baseball. And in words and
pictures they provide the richest evocation we have ever had of the
formidable institution that is our beloved national pastime, the "mere
game" woven so deeply into our lives that it provides common ground
for young and old, black and white, North, South, East, and West - for
taxi driver and schoolteacher and president of the United States. During
eight months of the year, it is played professionally every day; all year
round, amateurs play it, watch it, and dream about it, losing themselves
in a base runner's progress around the diamond, in the elemental clash
between pitcher and batter, in the outfielder's lonely vigil. Baseball
produces remarkable Americans: it seizes hold of ordinary people and
shapes them into something we must regard with awe. Ty Cobb, Satchel
Paige, Babe Ruth, Jackie Robinson, Joe DiMaggio, Hank Aaron, not gods
exactly, not even necessarily heroes, but truly gifted human beings acting
out universal fantasies that, for whatever reason, are most perfectly
expressed on a baseball field. All this and more rings through Geoffrey
C. Ward and Ken Burns's moving, crowded, fascinating history of the
game - a history that goes beyond stolen bases, triple plays, and home
runs (although they, too, are here) to demonstrate how baseball has
been influenced by, and has in turn influenced, our national life: politics,
race, labor, big business, advertising, social custom, literature, art, and
morality.
