Their current ballpark is the Comerica Park; the team owner is Mike Ilitch, the manager is Jim Leyland and the General Manager is Dave Dombrowski.
The Detroit Tigers are also known by many other nicknames such as the Motor City Kitties, the Bengals and the Tigs.
Import moment and accomplishments:
Because of the extremely skilled players that are part of this incredible team, the Detroit tigers have an impressive track record that sets them apart from the rest of teams in the AL; they have earned one wild card Berth title in 2006, they have also won three east division titles in the years of 1972, 1984 and 1987. The tigers have gathered 10 American League pennants in years spanning from 1906 all the way to 2006. And to top it all off they have had 4 successful participations in the World Series in the years of 1935, 1945, 1968 and 1984.
In an unfortunate turn of events during the last game of the season Freddy Garcia had to leave the field at the bottom of the sixth inning because of this stiffness in his right shoulder which prevented him to finish the game which was at that point very tight and in favor of the tigers 2 to 1 against the White Sox. After Garcia when out things turned very differently for the tigers and they couldn't hold up against the white sox roster.
Let's hope to hear positive news about Freddy Garcia as he is a key pitcher in the team, one that proves to be quite effective as long as he doesn't have any physical ailment.
