The Central Division of Major League Baseball is one of the most competitive. The Detroit Tigers are one of the most successful and storied teams in this division of the American League. Most recently the Tigers play in Comerica Park. The Tigers are one of the original eight American League teams. Yaytickets.com provides a great selection on tickets to see the Tigers play at home.
Perhaps the single most important event in Tigers history was the acquisition of Ty Cobb in 1905, one of the greatest players to ever play the game. Cobb is second all time in hits with 4,191. His career career batting average was .367. He also stole 892 bases in his career.
In 2003 the Tigers lost the most games of any team in modern Major League history. The manager at the time, Alan Trammel, happened to be one of the best Tigers players in the last twenty years. Unfortunately he was unable to pull the Tigers from the depths. Trammell, a shortstop, did lead the Tigers to a 1984 World Series Championship. He was known for his tenacious play and discipline.
Recently the Tigers have become one of the teams to beat in the Central Division. In addition to hiring manager Jim Leyland, they've added a number of notable pitchers. Dontrelle Willis, Jeremy Bonderman, Justin Verlander, and Joel Zumaya are one of the most exciting pitching staffs in the league. Yaytickets.com provides tickets for every game at Comerica Park. It's cheap and easy to purchase tickets on the net.
The Tigers are hopeful this year that they can break through and win the American League Pennant. They have a number of exciting players and a unique style that is fun to watch. At Yaytickets.com you can get tickets for the Pennant race in 2009. |
