Detroit Drinks Baseball History Part 1

Detroit Drinks Baseball History!

Detroiters sure love their baseball, and they love a beer or three while they watch and play. Part One explores the pre-Prohibition history of baseball in Detroit, and why it caused a ruckus with the Temperance advocates and preachers. I also talk with author Anna Clark about the complicated legacy of Ty Cobb, why he might — and might not be misrepresented, and how our stories about Cobb reflect our own personal motivations.
