For over 100 years, Michigan and Trumbull was the scene of some of the most exciting baseball ever. This book, the collaborative work of 34 members of the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR), portrays 50 classic games at the corner, spanning the earliest days of Bennett Park until Tiger Stadium's final closing act. From Ty Cobb to Mickey Cochrane, Hank Greenberg to Al Kaline, and Willie Horton to Alan Trammell, the illustrious names of Tiger legends shine forth in these pages. A must-read for those who love the crack of the bat, the glory of green grass, and tales of great games well told.

One of a two-book set featuring the two teams that went head to head in the 1986 World Series, one book on the Mets, and one on the Red Sox. These Red Sox were full of drama all year long, long before Bill Buckner's gaffe. Roger Clemens was young, so was Calvin Schiraldi. The book includes biographies of every player on the 1986 roster, all the coaches, manager, announcers, and write-ups of several key games from the season as well as the World Series. This book on the 1986 season re-tells the story of that year's classic World Series. After four games, each team had won two away games and neither had won at home. Then the Red Sox won Game Five at Fenway, and were one game away from winning their first World Championship in 86 years. It came to the point they were one pitch away from baseball Nirvana.And then....Just about everyone knows what happened, but there are takes on it here you might not have read elsewhere. Mostly, this is the story of each of the players, coaches, managers, and broadcasters, their lives in baseball and the way the 1986 season fit into their lives.As with many of the books published by the Society of American Baseball Research, this was a true collaborative effort. There are 74 different SABR members who contributed to making these two books on the Mets and Red Sox a reality. It took us two books to tell the story as well as we wanted. Be sure to pick up the companion 1986 New York Mets book for the rest of the story!Table of Contents: Tony Armas by Augusto Ca01;rdenas Marty Barrett by Mark KanterDon Baylor by Malcolm Allen & Alfonso L Tusa CWade Boggs by Steve WestOil Can Boyd by Bill Nowlin Mike Brown by Nick WaddellBill Buckner by Jeff EnglishRoger Clemens by Rick BushSteve Crawford by John DiFonzoPat Dodson by Bob LeMoineDwight Evans by Bill Nowlin Wes Gardner by Joanne HulbertRich Gedman by Tyler AshMike Greenwell by Joe Wancho Dave Henderson by Paul HenslerGlenn Hoffman by Clayton TrutorBruce Hurst by Gregory H Wolf Tim Lollar by Gregory H Wolf Steve Lyons by Donna L Halper Al Nipper by Gregory H WolfSpike Owen by Norm KingRey Quinones by John Gregory Jim Rice by Alex EdelmanEd Romero by Bill NowlinKevin Romine by Thomas Ayers Joe Sambito by Gene GumbsDave Sax by Rich Bogovich Calvin Schiraldi by David Forrester Tom Seaver by Maxwell KatesJeff Sellers by Niall AdlerBob Stanley by Will AndersonDave Stapleton by Tyler Ash Mike Stenhouse by Mark SternmanSammy Stewart by Bill NowlinMarc Sullivan by Armand Peterson LaSchelle Tarver by Mike RichardMike Trujillo by Mike Richard Rob Woodward by Bob LeMoine Owner, Jean Yawkey by Joan M ThomasGeneral Manager, Lou Gorman by Daniel R LevittManager, John McNamara by Mark ArmourCoaches Bill Fischer by Bob LeMoineWalt Hriniak by David E Skelton Rene Lachemann by Norm King Joe Morgan by Rory Costello Broadcasters Joe Castiglione by Curt SmithKen Coleman by Curt SmithNed Martin by Bob LeMoineBob Montgomery by Bill Nowlin Six 1986 Red Sox Games April 29, 1986 by Cecilia Tan and Bill NowlinMay 19, 1986 by Michael HuberMay 20, 1986 by Doug SkipperAugust 21, 1986 by Bill NowlinSeptember 4, 1986 -- Mets/Red Sox exhibition game by Saul Wisnia September 28, 1986 by Tom FlynnThe 1986 American League Championship Series by Allan Wood Why was Bill Buckner still on the field at the end of Game Six? by Bill Nowlin The Revenge of 1912 by David KaiserA Parade for the Fallen by Bob BradyThe 1986 World Series by Matthew SilvermanMike Sergio by Bill NowlinBy The Numbers by Dan Fields
