Detroit Tigers Details
The Tigers were a founding member of the American League in 1901. They are the oldest American League team to have never changed its name or have moved to a different city. The Tigers acquired Ty Cobb, arguably the most famous player in the history of the franchise, in 1905. Cobb played 21 years for the Tigers and was a player/manager for the team from 1921-1926. Cobb was known for his ability to get on base: he did not hit many home runs, but he was a 12 time AL batting champion, and his .367 career batting average is the highest in Major League Baseball.
The Tigers have won multiple World Series titles. One of their more memorable titles came in 1984, over the San Diego Padres. The Tigers received strong pitching from Jack Morris, a member of the Hall of Fame’s class of 2018, and from Willie Hernandez, who won the Cy Young and American League MVP awards as a closing pitcher. The Tigers also went to the World Series in 2006 after narrowly missing out on the AL Central title.
Noteworthy players to wear a Tigers uniform include Hall of Famers Al Kaline, Alan Trammell, Jack Morris, Hank Greenberg, and the aforementioned Cobb.
The Tigers play at Comerica Park in downtown Detroit, near all of the city’s major pro-sports arenas.
