The Detroit Tigers haven't won the World Series since 1984, with just two appearances since (2006, in which they lost in five games to the St. Louis Cardinals, and 2012, in which they were swept by the San Francisco Giants).

Start with the Phillies' front office, led by general manager Dave Dombrowski — who also built the Tigers' rosters for those '06 and '12 runs.
