The Book
The book was published by Contemporary Books and contains Anderson's diary account of the first 151 games of the 1984 Detroit Tigers World Series championship season. The team started the year on a remarkable 35-5 pace and became the first American League team since the 1927 New York Yankees to "lead the race from wire-to-wire" and win the World Series. The book was written with the help of Tigers' public relations director Dan Ewald. Anderson noted that he wrote the book by recording his immediate reactions after each game: "It was fun. Every night before I went to bed, I'd put the game on tape. This is easy -- you just sit and talk."
