Stanton is the author of four baseball books: Ty and The Babe, which is his latest; Hank Aaron and the Home Run That Changed America, a Reader’s Digest pick of the month; The Road to Cooperstown, a poignant true story about a father-and-son road trip; and the Tiger Stadium memoir The Final Season, which was named best baseball book of the year as winner of both the Casey and Dave Moore awards. He also edited the Detroit Tigers Reader. Stanton’s guest columns have appeared in many newspapers, including The New York Times, and for several years he served as journalism professor at the University of Detroit Mercy. He has earned degrees from Michigan State University and Oakland University, and belongs to the Society for American Baseball Research, Friends of the National Baseball Hall of Fame, and the Mayo Smith Society. He lives in New Baltimore, Michigan, with his wife, Beth. They have three adult sons. Tom welcomes your comments and questions.
