Step into the golden era of Detroit sports with us as Jamie Flanagan and Charles Avison unveil the meticulous research and dedication that brought the legendary athletes of 1935 back to life. Journey through time as Charles recounts his thrilling discoveries of rare memorabilia and the painstaking effort he put into piecing together old newspapers, matchbooks, and game programs. You'll be captivated by the stories of fan interactions and the undervaluation of treasured sports artifacts.
In this episode, we delve into Bob Coleman’s crucial role in the Detroit Tigers' minor league system.
