'With the wounds of the 1994 players' strike virtually healed and the team's ongoing battle to build a new stadium settled, the Tigers seem poised to enter a new era and Harrigan's book perfectly encapsulates the one just completed.' -- Jason Schneider ID Magazine 'Harrigan's 415 page, 50-year history is more than just the usual chronicle of locker-room antics and on-field heroics.' -- Paul Challen The Toronto Star 'An exhaustive, rewarding social history of the Detroit Tigers over the last half-century.' -- Ted Shaw The Windsor Star 'Scholars will celebrate The Detroit Tigers as a model biography of a sports team, but Tiger fans will cherish it as the fullest and finest account of their team ever written. The Tigers may well be the worst team in baseball this year, but they now have the best team history.' -- John English The Kitchener Record
