1984?

With all the hype over the Stanley Cup, NBA finals and soccer's FIFA World Cup, our Detroit Tigers have been quietly amassing 50 wins to lead the American League.
Now, with no other Detroit (or U.S.) teams competing, the Tigers should have our full attention. This may be the team's best chance in more than 20 years to take the A.L. Pennant and return to the World Series.
It's a little sad, though, that this also is the year the fate of the old Tiger's Stadium has apparently been decided. I have several fond memories -- and a baseball hit by the Brewer's Ted Simmons -- from Tiger's Stadium. Sometimes, it's hard to say, "Good-bye."
Does this mean we may see the perennial-loser Lions make a playoff appearance, too?
