Abstract

The article from Baseball Digest titled "YEAR OF THE TIGERS" recounts the remarkable 1984 season of the Detroit Tigers, highlighting their dominance in baseball. Led by manager Sparky Anderson, the Tigers achieved a 35-5 record in the first 40 games, a feat unmatched before or since. The team's success culminated in a World Series victory, with Kirk Gibson's iconic three-run homer in Game 5 sealing their triumph. The article reflects on the team's chemistry, leadership, and the enduring impact of their historic season, as evidenced by the recent 40th-anniversary reunion of the 1984 Tigers at Comerica Park.
