Historic 1968 Detroit Tigers Featured in New Book

While fans of the Detroit Tigers wait (impatiently) for any news about off-season signings, it is possible to get a baseball fix. The book Pitch by Pitch by Bob Gibson gets readers involved in every single pitch thrown during the first game of the 1968 World Series game between the Tigers and the St. Louis Cardinals. Seeing the game through the eyes of two-time Cy Young winner Bob Gibson is an eye-opening experience, as he pitched against the infamous and charismatic two-time Cy Young winner Denny McLain.
