This was an interesting story. I'm surprised that I have never heard of the Black Legion prior to listening to this audio book, particularly considering how much of my adult life I have spent in metro Detroit. But the author himself indicates he similarly didn't find people who knew about it doing his research in the 'burbs.

I kept expecting there to be more of a connection between the legion and the Tigers, but there really wasn't. It really could have been two different books, one about the championship season(s) of Detroit and one on the Black Legion, but it was somewhat interesting trying to tie the two histories told concurrently, just as they would have been in real life, but how many other historical events could have been tied in too.
