For anyone who lived in the Detroit area in 1987, “Wheel of Fortune” and “Jeopardy!” were game shows that were on WDIV-Local 4 from 7 pm to 8 pm. This is still true to this day but a memory I had as a young baseball fan, you knew once you heard “We interrupt Wheel Of Fortune at its regularly scheduled time to bring you the following presentation of Detroit Tigers baseball” followed by one of the iconic images/animations in Detroit television history.
I was too young to remember the 1984 Detroit Tigers but I do remember this team in more detail.
