Detroit Tigers 1984

Número de Páginas: 253

The 1984 Detroit tigers roared out of the gate, winning their first nine games of the season and compiling an eye-popping 35-5 record after the campaign’s first 40 games--still the best start ever for any team in major league history. The tigers led wire-to-wire in 1984, becoming only the third team in the modern era of the majors to have done so. And Detroit’s determination and tenacity resulted in a sweep of the Kansas City Royals in the AL playoffs and a five-game triumph over the San Diego Padres in the World Series. And Tigers fans will tell you that the bottom of the eighth inning in Game Five was the first time Kirk Gibson hit an iconic home run in the Fall Classic. Detroit Tigers 1984: What a Start! What a Finish!, an effort by the society of American Baseball research’s BioProject Committee, brings together biographical profiles of every Tiger from that magical season, plus those of field management, top executives, the broadcasters--even venerable Tiger Stadium and the city itself.

Número de Páginas: 328

In 1967, in the midst of a nail-biting six-week pennant race, the Red Sox, Tigers, Twins and White Sox stood deadlocked atop the American League. Never before or since have four teams tied for the lead in baseball's final month. The stakes were high--there were no playoffs, the pennant winner went directly to the World Series. Here, for the first time, all four teams are treated as equals. The author describes their contrasting skill sets, leadership and temperament. The stress of such stiff and sustained competition was constant, and there were overt psychological and physical intimidations playing a major role throughout the season. The standings were volatile and so were emotions. The players and managers varied: some wilted or broke, others responded heroically.

The all-time team consists of Sparky Anderson, manager; Bill Freehan, catcher; Hank Greenberg, first base; Charlie Gehringer, second base; George Kell, third base; Alan Trammell, shortstop; Ty Cobb, Al Kaline, and Kirk Gibson, outfield; and Hal Newhouser, Jack Morris, Mickey Lolich, and John Hiller, pitchers.

In concept the National Baseball Hall of Fame honors the greatest players and contributors to the game. Players such as Ruth, Gehrig, Cobb, Mays, and Aaron are rightfully enshrined there.
