[Michlib-l] Tigers Stadium book and program by Doc Fletcher

[Wendy Mutch]

Fellow Librarians, 
After writing 9 books about the joy of canoeing & kayaking rivers, lifelong Michigan 
resident Doc Fletcher moves to dry land for his latest book: "The History of Tiger 
Stadium: A Love Letter to Baseball at Michigan & Trumbull" , honoring The 
Cathedral at The Corner. 
Doc is an engaging speaker and draws a large audience (100% of registered attendees!) and I highly recommend him. 
I've included the cover of the 375-page book, his program description, available dates and contact information. His honorarium is 
$300, plus mileage if an hour or more away from his Northville home.

The History of Tiger S tadium: A Love Letter to Baseball at Michigan & Trumbull honors The 
Cathedral at The Corner where - together with great-grandparents, grandparents, 
parents, uncles, aunts, siblings, children, godchildren, & friends - we have cheered 
our Detroit Tigers. Although the structure is gone, the memories remain... 

"It was a night game, the field a shade of green that was the most beautiful color 
I'd ever seen, the smells, sounds, and sights of the pre-game action delightfully 
overwhelming... the air filled with the bouquet of hot dogs, spilt beer, and a cigar 
aroma much like that of the House of Windsor stogies preferred by my Dad. 
Cries of the vendors peddling those items pierced the air. Several Tigers were 
engaged in a game of pepper along the box seats down the right field foul line, 
as nearby Bill Freehan tossed a ball back 'n forth with a teammate, entertaining 
the fans by playfully catching the ball behind his back." 

Doc will share stories from the book of the characters on the field, in the stands, 
and those in the neighborhoods surrounding the ballpark, as well as about the 
broadcasters who brought the action to us when we couldn't be there ourselves.
