I have never been to Detroit. But, from age 6, I was a rabid baseball fan, and read every book about baseball I could get my hands on. So, Cobb and Crawford, Gehringer, Heilmann, Manush, Greenberg and Walker, Rudy York!, Newhouser and Trout, Kueen, Kaline and Bunning, Cash and Colavito, Horton, Lolich, and Mclain, the Bird, Miggy, and more. Then the '67 riot. All over the network news. From that moment I have been praying for a Detroit return to greatness and an end to the slaughter going on in Detroit.
