Hail the Detroit Tigers

The Detroit Tigers was established in 1894, a baseball team based in Michigan. They are one of the eight charter franchises of Major League Baseball. The team is currently a member of the American League and Central Division of the Major League.

The Detroit Tigers is one of the four clubs in the league that is still located in their original city. The other three are the Boston Red Sox, Cleveland Indians, and Chicago White Sox.

During their first entry in the major league, which was in 1881, they are known as the Detroit Wolverines. Their best year as the Wolverines was in 1887. The team managed to win the World Series exhibition game, defeating the American Association champions St. Louis Browns. One of the team’s leading players, “Big Sam” Thompson, won the 1887 National League batting championship. That made him the only NL batting winner from an American League city.

Despite the fact that the team has had many achievements, they failed to draw enough fans to stay in the major league level. During the 1888 season, the team has disbanded and the city was back to the minor league level again. Many things had happened after that season. There was also an attempt to revive the Northwestern League in 1891. But during the mid-season the plan has collapsed. Also at that time, the professional baseball team of Detroit was forced to temporarily take a short break.

The Tigers were back during the 1901 season. That’s when they played their first major league game on their home court. That game was against the Milwaukee Brewers. It was a game that drew 10,000 fans at the Bennet Park. Because of the big crowd, Detroit laws had prevented the team from playing at the park on Sundays. Summing up the team’s success, the Tigers had won a total of four World Series title, ten American League Pennants, and three East Division titles.
