I found myself paying more attention to the campy “Go Get ‘em, Tigers!” song than the celebration on the field.

[@sean2015]

I enjoyed hearing that upbeat tune while at the same time looking at the dejected faces of the Yankees players.

[@IWantToMature85]

the world series would be an unfortunate end to a great season

[@YoungSavage-eb1qs]

Don't be dumb making it to the world series is never dumb luck. Playoffs is a time where the best of a team always comes out and the tigers were great that year. Luck wins you a few games not a ALCS championship

[@etchedinstone7562]

DVJFan A Tiger team that had a lead for two whole innings in the World Series?

[@KaneRobot]

Not to mention the end to a good run for the Tigers. Being embarrassed twice in the World Series and only winning one game out of both times they went was pretty much the end for them.

I'm a lifelong Reds fan, but am from Erie (home of Detroit's AA affiliate), and have "adopted" the Tigers as my AL team. I've had the privilege of watching many of the young guys pass through Erie on their way to Toledo and eventually the big club. It's a shame they didn't win the World Series that year, but it was great seeing them go there and beat the Yankees on the way to it.

Low key, if the Cardinals didn't blow that 3-1 lead the tigers could've won the world series cause they couldn't do anything against Detroit that year. It's like the patriots with everyone but new York. They won every Superbowl they went to unless it was the Giants but the Giants were not as good against anyone else. Not counting this year with the eagles. But it depends on the matchup cause even tho we couldn't beat the Giants the Cardinals were very beatable for us
