However, the editors of Forbes' 2006 List of the "400 Richest Americans" certainly didn't buy that "shell-game" and apparently Hoover's, a subsidiary of Dunn & Bradstreet, providing comprehensive profiles on more than 18 million businesses around the world doesn't either.
Hoover's on-line (as well as Google Finance) provides this overview for the Detroit Tigers, Inc.:

Hoover'sOverview
These Tigers prowl in the jungle of Major League Baseball. The Detroit Tigers franchise was a charter member of he American League in 1901 and has won 10 league pennants and four World Series championships (the last in 1984). For all its past success, however, the team struggled to finish with a winning record for more than a decade until the 2006 season, when the club won its first AL pennant since 1984. (Detroit lost the World Series, though, to the St. Louis Cardinals.) The baseball franchise is part of Ilitch Holdings, owned by Mike and Marian Ilitch. The Ilitches, who bought the Tigers in 1992, also own the Detroit Red Wings hockey team, part of MotorCity Casino, and Little Caesar Enterprises.link: http://www.hoovers.com/detroit-tigers/--ID__46741--/free-co-factsheet.xhtml
