Great Coffee Table Book

If you want a great coffee table book and love looking at old photos of the ole gal in Corktown this is the book to have. Great photos make up for the lack of historical reminiscence. If you want to spark your youngsters interest in Tiger Stadium this would be a great start.

Great picture book on Tiger Stadium

This is mostly photographs of the happenings at Detroit ball parks. There were several older parks before Tiger Stadium. Several of the ball players, such as Ty Cobb, Charlie Gehringer, and Al Kaline are in the write-ups. It even had a boxing match by Joe Louis and Bob Pastor at the stadium.

Picture Book

This book is great for a collection of lasting images of the stadium. It covers the long history with a number of beautiful shots. It is not the book to get for a history of the stadium because it only contains a few musings. There are some great books out there that detail the history of the stadium and for that information go there, but on a coffee table for the casual fan this is a good book.
