Re: 1984 Tigers
[ QUOTE ]
meh, i dunno, i was a huge baseball history buff when i was younger, and a lot of the players from that team went on to fame elsewhere - Kirk Gibson and Jack Morris for their World Series play, and Alan Trammell was a manager for a few years.

While Gibson's and Morris' #1 career highlights were with other teams, they were both VERY established stars before they left the Tigers. Gibson's last good year, in fact, was his first year away from Detroit -- his MVP 1988 season with L.A.
Trammell came nowhere close to gaining fame as a manager. In his three years as the Detroit skipper, they went 186-300. As a player, however, he was a borderline Hall of Famer.
