Replica flannel uniform top from 1930s era Detroit Tigers. The road gray uniform from 1930-1959 used a script Detroit lettering. This is a nearly correct version of the 1935 uniform as worn by Hall of Famer Hank Greenberg. Hank won the MVP that year but wasn't on the AL All Star team. The Tigers won their first World Series in 1935 over the Chicago Cubs. It was the 5th time they played in the WS. Besides Greenberg the team featured Charlie Gehringer, Mickey Cochrane, Goose Goslin, Tommy Bridges and Schoolboy Rowe.

It was a beautiful warm evening, perfect baseball weather, as I drove by Tiger Stadium. There were lots of people in the street enjoying the wonderful summer evening. You could hear the roar of the crowd as the Tigers played hard to win another game. It was so perfect it was almost like a dream...
