A well-kept secret : from the glory years of the Detroit Tigers
- It was a well-kept secret for 64 years. After his wife, Marjorie, died in in 2003, Michigan author and adventurer Clayton Klein discovered a trove of startling information involving her friendship in the late 1930s and early 1940s with Hall-of-Fame baseball player Hank Greenberg. Boxes of memorabilia, including a five-year diary kept from 1935-1939, revealed just how well acquainted Marjorie and Hank became. A Well-Kept Secret covers Detroit Tigers history from 1923 to 1947. It includes chapters on Tiger Hall-of-Famer Charlie Gehringer, who grew up in the author's hometown, and a chapter on Hall-of-Fame pitcher for the Cleveland Indians, Robert Feller, a former nemesis and later friend of Greenberg.
