  The Detroit Tigers were founding members of the American League and have been the Motor City's team for more than a century. But the Wolverines were the city's first major league club, playing in the National League beginning in 1881 and capturing the pennant in 1887. This first ever history of the Wolverines covers the team's rise and abrupt fall and the powerful men behind it.
