Detroit Baseball History Part 2

Beer and baseball go together like...well, beer and baseball. And breweries in Detroit, like elsewhere, were major early sponsors of Tigers baseball. They also drove ad sales national, which was partially responsible for the death of hyper-local beer in the 60s and 70s. We’re also covering two iconic Detroit baseball bars: Hoot Robinson’s and the Lindell AC. I talk with Tom Derry of the Historic Hamtramck Stadium about their renovation efforts and about the famous Babe Ruth Birthday Party’s origins.
