The Tigers Wives have written "The ABCs of Detroit Tigers Baseball," a children's book that covers the game of baseball from A to Z.
The 29-page, hardcover book, features colorful illustrations that define Tigers baseball from A to Z and includes the Spanish-language translation of each English term. In addition, each page includes a related 'Tiger Tidbit' such as historical records, fun facts or player records teaching fans of all ages of the storied Tigers franchise.
A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the book benefits the Detroit Tigers Foundation, the official charity of the Detroit Tigers.

The Detroit Tigers Wives have become a fixture at the Susan G. Komen Detroit Race for the Cure for the past seven years. This year was no different. As in the past, the Tigers Wives formed a walking team with family and friends to help raise awareness and money to end breast cancer forever. The Tigers Wives brigade was led by Shani Inge and members of her family, Jessie Miner, and Karie Ross. Other participants included special guests Kristi Sardinha, wife of Mudhen's player Dane Sardinha, and Yvonne Raiola, wife of Detroit Lions player Dominic Raiola. These ladies along with members of the Detroit Tigers organization joined more than 30,000 people in support against the fight to end breast cancer. After the walk, Shani and the Tigers Wives Family and Friends team presented the Detroit Tigers Wives "Rookie of the Year" award at the closing ceremonies. The award is presented each year to the largest new team. This year's award went to Honigman Heroes with 145 members. Along with the award, the winning team receives complimentary tickets to a Tigers game.
