The vote arrived and it was a disappointment. With the final snub to Alan Trammell, the BBWAA decided that no one from the 1984 World Series Champion Detroit Tigers are worthy of the Hall of Fame. Despite the disappointment of the final vote in the final year of the final player with eligibility, there is actually a bright side to this outcome.
The bright side includes the memories of the 1984 team. These World Series champions truly defined what a TEAM should be. They did not have to rely on a Hall of Fame player to carry them – each player contributed.
