FROM THE BOOKS
Joe rarely misses a game (baseball) featuring his hometown favorites, the Detroit Tigers, if he can help it. Horseback riding comes a close second on Louis' list of hobbies. The Brown Bomber owns an enormous ranch in Michigan. He breeds horses there and owns a small circular track for riding purposes. His love for horses was so great that he was the happiest man in the world when the Army assigned him to the cavalry at Fort Riley, Kansas, when he enlisted in 1942.
