Program recommendation: The History of Tiger Stadium with Doc Fletcher
by David Stokes 17 May '22

17 May '22

Hello there, Last night we welcomed Michigan author 'Doc' Fletcher to talk about his 10th and most recent book: *The History of Tiger Stadium : a love letter to baseball at Michigan & Trumbull.* We'd originally had Doc slated for May of 2020 but had to postpone indefinitely thanks to the pandemic. He doesn't do Zoom programs so we had to wait until we resumed our in-person programming to reschedule. Doc is very knowledgeable and a great speaker with a lot of great stories to share about the history of the Detroit Tigers and Tiger Stadium. He had *so *many stories, in fact, that he ran out of time. In addition to his presentation and bringing copies of his books to sell after the program, Doc also brought some Tigers memorabilia for attendees to win in a drawing after the program. David M.

I see that currently on the form it reads optional after every field, and I will have that corrected. I currently have two requests for an hours adjustment and I cannot determine who needs these changes.
