The Detroit Tigers are one of the oldest teams in all of Major League Baseball. Since their inception as a charter team in the American League, the Detroit Tigers have had a storied tradition. They have had many Hall-of-Fame players in their history, including the great Al Kaline, Hank Greenberg and Ty Cobb. They have won multiple championships in their history, including their most recent in 1984, under manager Sparky Anderson. That team was led by outfielder Kirk Gibson and steady middle infielders Lou Whitaker and Alan Trammell. The Tigers showed great consistency in the 1980s and had one of the best win-loss records overall for the decade.

The team now plays in the American League Central Division, against such rivals as the Minnesota Twins, the Cleveland Indians, and the Chicago White Sox. The current team is young, but has added a couple of experienced pitchers in Kenny Rogers and closer Todd Jones, who could contribute some leadership.

The Tigers had played in legendary Tiger Stadium since early in the 1900s, but in 2000 they moved into their brand-new stadium, Comerica Park. Comerica Park is best known for its cavernous outfield that makes games at Comerica Park exciting because of the number of doubles and triples that can be hit there. Comerica also has a Ferris wheel, a mammoth water feature in center field that can be choreographed to any music, and a decade-by-decade pedestrian museum enveloping the main concourse. There are no outfield upper deck seats, which provides people with tickets to Tigers games a beautiful view of downtown Detroit.

What a baseball story! Just three short years after the team reached the absolute bottom of its decline, there they were in the World Series. Without a doubt, the Detroit Tigers should be a competitive team in the future, playing exciting baseball at Comerica Park.
