Review: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly Detroit Tigers: Heart-Pounding, Jaw-Dropping, and Gut-Wrenching Moments from Detroit Tigers History (The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly)

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly Detroit Tigers: Heart-Pounding, Jaw-Dropping, and Gut-Wrenching Moments from Detroit Tigers History (The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly) by George Cantor

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



As a Tigers fan, I enjoyed the Tigers trivia, but overall was a little disappointed with this book. The cover features two photos, one on the front and one on the back. Both photos are from games that took place between 2004 and 2008.

Only FOUR of the anecdotes take place after 2000. Eight more (for a total of 12) take place within my lifetime. The overwhelming majority (22) take place in during the 1960s and 70s, with the rest taking place between 1900 and 1959.

For a book with only two cover photos and both of them within a very recent four year time frame, I was expecting more anecdotes that I had a chance of honestly remembering, rather than those that I simply remember hearing about from other people.

This would be a good book for those who remember the 1968 Tigers - most of the anecdotes are from that era and the fans from then will love re-living these memories.
