Detroit: City of Champions - The Story of the Most Important Season in Detroit Sports History

Detroit. 1935. In the midst of the worst economic crisis in the istory of the United States, one city had reason to celebrate. Joe Lewis, a young unknown boxer at the beginning of the year, would galvanize the sports world by the end of it. The Detroit Tigers, coming off a near World Series victory in 1934, would raise the city to new heights of frenzied excitement with their first title in 1935. Less than two months later, the Detroit Lions, playing in only their second season would bring home their first NFL crown, after an astonishing comeback in the final weeks of the regular season. But there would be more. The newly christened Detroit Rew Wings were at this very moment playing their way to the first Stanley Cup of their storied history. These stories and more told through the words of the people who lived it.
