This evening, Tuesday, October 9, former Detroit Tiger great Mickey Lolich and journalist Tom Gage will be appearing at the downtown Ann Arbor Public Library to discuss their new book Joy In Tigertown: A Determined Team, a Resilient City, and Our Magical Run to the 1968 World Series.
Speaking as someone who grew up in the late 1960's and 70's I'm very excited about the event as I'm sure many people are! Mickey Lolich played major league baseball from 1963 until 1979. He pitched for the Detroit Tigers from 1963 till 1975. From 1976 until 79 Lolich pitched for New York Mets and San Diego Padres.
Although I was only 5 years old in 1968 I know that the "68" World Series was one of the most exciting and important Series in MLB history. A helluva lot was going in the nation in 1968 (kinda like these days) and that year's World Series was a healing ointment for the city of Detroit.
Martin Bandyke of Ann Arbor 107.1 will host the presentation The event will include a book signing and books will be available on sale.
The event will be from 7 pm until 8:30 in the 4th Floor meeting room.
Check it out tonight. I can't wait!
