The Final Season: Fathers, Sons, and One Last Season in a Classic American Ballpark Paperback - 2002

by Tom Stanton

A powerful memoir of fathers, sons, and the end of baseball at Tiger Stadium. Both rollicking and introspective, "The Final Season" recounts an era that ends with the author's realization that his anguish wasn't just about the loss of a beloved ballpark but also about his dad's mortality.


First line

Eighty-seven years earlier on a Saturday in April 1912, days after the Titanic sank, the Detroit ball club played its first game on this diamond.
