Detroit Tigers

The Detroit Tigers are a cornerstone of the American League, carrying the distinction of being the oldest continuous one-name, one-city franchise in the league's history. Founded in 1901, the Tigers embody the hard-working spirit of Detroit, proudly wearing the iconic Old English "D." Their long legacy is built upon monumental figures like Ty Cobb, one of the greatest hitters in the history of the game, and Al Kaline, the beloved "Mr. Tiger." The team has delivered four World Series championships, with memorable victories in 1935, 1945, 1968, and the dominant wire-to-wire triumph of the 1984 "Bless You Boys" squad.

 

Today, the Tigers compete in the American League Central from their modern home at Comerica Park in downtown Detroit, succeeding the legendary Tiger Stadium at the corner of Michigan and Trumbull. This franchise has always been defined by its strong fan base and the dramatic play of its stars, including the great Miguel Cabrera, who achieved the Triple Crown in 2012. The Detroit Tigers remain committed to their rich tradition and the relentless pursuit of another World Series title for the Motor City faithful.
