Terror in the City of Champions: Murder, Baseball, and the Secret Society that Shocked Depression-era Detroit | Tom Stanton

so-so

An interesting bit of Michigan history. This was mostly about baseball. Honestly I zoned out at times because of the focus on baseball. One of the team members was involved with the Black Legion but they didn‘t focus much on that it was more of a side note. There wasn‘t a lot about the Legion it felt. I didn‘t care for it much.

Ty Cobb: A Terrible Beauty | Charles Leerhsen

I'm not a sports fan, but after listening to the @ReadingEnvy podcast that talked about this biography of Ty Cobb, I want to read it.

ReadingEnvy Bryan (my guest) was so passionate! I almost never have sports on the podcast. 7y

Amie @ReadingEnvy He was! He almost convinced to read "It" too and that's not at all a book that I would want to read. 7y

ReadingEnvy @amie haha same 7y

If you are interested at all in Detroit history, sports history, the wild world of early twentieth century American politics, or the history of institutionalized violent white supremacism, don't pass this up. It's a page turner.
