Was there any doubt?
When we polled our dear readers to see who they thought was the best Detroit Tigers club of all-time, we expected the 1984 team to win. But to run away with nearly 60 percent of all votes, with so many other great Tigers teams to look back on over the years? That was a little surprising.
Then again, it shouldn’t be a shock. After all, it’s what the ‘84 Tigers did to their competition. They won the first nine games of the season, sweeping the Twins, White Sox, Rangers, and Red Sox before finally dropping a game to the Kansas City Royals.
