What an incredible story and history we have!

THIS DAY IN HISTORY

On May 11, 1930, the Detroit Stars kicked off their inaugural season at Hamtramck Stadium. That year, thanks in large part to the heroics of center fielder Norman "Turkey" Stearnes, the Stars won the Negro National League second-half title, only to lose the championship in a grueling seven-game series against the St. Louis Stars.

Here, recently retired Detroit Tigers star Ty Cobb throws out the first pitch at Hamtramck Stadium's grand opening.
