Produktbeschreibung
In 1984 the Detroit Tigers stood at 35-5 after 40 games--the best start, by a very long margin, in the history of the game. Included in the Tigers blistering start was a no-hitter by staff ace Jack Morris. It seemed as if the Tigers would never lose. Wire to Wire: Inside the 1984 Detroit Tigers Championship Season revisits that incredible year. Longtime Detroit columnist and award-winning writer George Cantor lived through it, and in this book he writes about the 1984 Tigers with uncommon passion and insight into what the season meant to a reeling city and its disbelieving but delirious fans. Wire to Wire includes interviews with everyone who mattered in 1984: Alan Trammell, Kirk Gibson, Sparky Anderson, Lance Parrish, Darrell Evans, Jack Morris, Dan Petry, and more. The Tigers never fell out of first place that year, leading their division from the first day of the season until the last. The last team that accomplished that feat was the legendary 1927 Yankees. Wire to Wire is the irresistible story of one of baseball's greatest teams.
