After a decade in the wilderness, the Detroit Tigers finally burst back on the scene in 2024. Given up for dead in July after selling at the trade deadline, the young Tigers’ roster put together a stunning stretch drive that saw them close with a 31-13 run to a wild card berth. They went on to knock out the Houston Astros in the AL Wild Card round before a crushing Game 5 loss to Cleveland in the ALCS ended the Cinderella story.
That success has left an already hungry fanbase very eager for a return to October in 2025.
