Detroit Tigers Information
One of the oldest teams of MLB, the Detroit Tigers was founded in 1894. They belong to the Central Division of the American League and currently play at the Comerica Park . The name of the club is said to have originated from the Detroit Light Guard military unit which were nicknamed as “the tigers”.
Having a quite consistent beginning, the Tigers finally won their first World Series Title in 1935 which was a feat that they repeated again as soon as the second world war was over in 1945. However a slow decline began in the 70s after their first division title in ’72 which continued till the mid 80s when they managed to win another one (1984). They clinched the title for the third time in ’87. In 2006, they have got a wild card entry to the playoffs.
