(More customer reviews)The Detroit Tigers dominated baseball in 1984, starting off the season at a mind-numbing 35-5, then cruising to a MLB-best 104-58, remaining in first place the entire season. They quickly swept aside the Royals in 3 straight in the ALCS, then waited for San Diego to finish off the Cubs in 5.
The '84 World Series, despite the Padres experience, wasn't even close. Except for a come-from-behind win in Game 2, the Padres were mauled by the Tigers in 5 games. All of San Diego's starting pitchers were chased from the mound by the third inning, two of which didn't make it through the first! On the other side, Jack Morris pitched two complete games, Series MVP Alan Trammell batted .450 (including two home runs in Game 4), and Kirk Gibson buried San Diego for good in Game 5 with two upper deck home runs.
Until 2006, the "Bless You Boys" Tigers were the last great baseball team in Detroit. I'm sure we won't see a team start 35-5 or better again.
