DETROIT -- The crowds have been smaller than usual during a miserable September for the Detroit Tigers, the first painful glimpse of the bad baseball still to come as the team embarks on a complete rebuilding.
Outgoing manager Brad Ausmus said he knows fans will be tested in 2018 after more than a decade of winning baseball.
"The times might get a little lean here for a few years, but the Tigers will be back and the fans will certainly be there to support them because they've always been there," he said.
How long will it take to get back?
