Product Description
Motor City baseball fans haven't rocked this hard since 1984, when the Detroit Tigers went wire to wire behind the talents of Kirk Gibson, Alan Trammell and a cantankerous, white-haired managed named Sparky. The cast of character has changed, with the likes of Pudge, Magglio and a new cantankerous managed leading the way, but Jim Leyland's Tigers have all but erased 20-plus years of mediocrity with this incredible 2006 season. The once downtridded franchise has taken the league by storm, setting its sights on a division title and perhaps even eyeing Motown's first baseball championship since the decade of big hair. Out of Nowhere chronicles the magical season that's been 2006. From spring traing to Opening Day, the Tigers' amazing climb to the top of the AL Central standings and their late-season pennant push, this lavishly illustrated commemorative book has everything a Detroit baseball fan could want. Written by longtime Detroit sports columnist George Cantor, Out of Nowhere details through words and photographs the best baseball season this city has experienced in more than two decades.

 Tigers are still winners October 28, 2006
4 out of 11 found this review helpful
Despite the fact that the Cardinals came in and defeated the Tigers in 5 World Series games, DO NOT be disappointed in the Detroit Tigers. Instead, be VERY proud of all the things they accomplished in 2006.
We're talking about a team that somehow managed to move past other excellent American League teams such as the Red Sox, White Sox, Twins, Yankees, Blue Jays, Angels and A's. The Tigers somehow were able to move past all seven of those amazing teams and make it to the World Series. That's VERY hard to do.
The fact that the Tigers defeated the Yankees in 3 games to advance to the American League Championship Series, and to sweep the A's in 4 straight games to advance to the World Series, is solid proof that the Tigers are definitely just as much winners as the Cardinals, in my opinion. I know if you're a Tigers fan you're probably disappointed they didn't win it all, but please, don't be- a magical season for them, indeed.

this book is a nice summation of the Detroit Tigers amazing 2006 comeback. The book contains info on the key players, and while there are no revelations or information not known to Tigers fans, it's nice to have some background detail. Most of the photos are nice; however, some of the "centerfold" shots (example: pages 32-33 of Joel Zumaya throwing a pitch) would have been better as smaller photos on a single page. The way this book is formatted, you have to almost break the binding to see the whole shot. Another gaffe is on pages 62-63: the man in the photo is not Curtis Granderson; it's Dmitri Young. All in all, not a bad book about a winning team.
