Thanks so much!

[@clarkvaughan]

We had crowds that didn't lead to illness and death. We cared about baseball. Mr. I built a team we could be proud of. The fans knew the player's names. What a brief exquisite moment in Detroit sports history. It's all gone now. Nothing left but death, illness, fear, and boredom. I wish I'd appreciated it more back then. I thought the good times would last forever.

ALDS game 4 was so awesome. I had fantastic 3rd base, 28th row seats. That place was nuts when Scherzer loaded the bases and struck out the next 2 and the pop out for the 3rd. That was insane!

[@justinmllr63]

This is a great video. Thanks for not showing the debacle at Fenway. The Tigers should have won the World Series that year and the year before.

[@Gamer55MMC]

This brings back old memories when I asked my mom and dad when we where coming back after the world series loss and here I am writing this message in 2021 and Cabrera is the last tiger from this wonderful decade😭. DETROIT TIGER FAN FOR LIFE. Hang in there fans we will come back someday. Just keep are heads high and believe.🤟

[@SCFick318]

Honestly everyone can say that 2012 was the best of the final three years with jim leyland, but i say it was this year-2013, it had that feeling of magic, and i can say with 100% confidence that the 2013 ALCS was the best playoff series that year, so i'm not shameful of losing to a great opponent, it was just "their year"

[@TheTigersfan20]

I agree. 2013 was the best team Leyland had, and the ALCS was a great series - frustrating as much because the series could have easily gone the other way around.

[@tde2019]

Agree. Last year was a blast, especially for us Tigers fans.

[@williamcooper571]

Dude last year was my favorite year ever since I was not alive in 1984 this year we will win the World Series and JV can finally get a WON World Series.

[@jessejames9404]

Are you a Cardinals fan and a Tigers fan....? Bro that's messed up... That's like being a Packers fan AND a Bears fan or a Celtics fan AND a Lakers fan OR a Red Sox fan AND a Yanks fan

[@Hellfire1535]

I'm a Red Sox fan who would like to thank the tigers and their fans for a exciting and challenging series, the red sox may have edged out the tigers in the end but the series was remarkably close and could have gone either way. so what i'm saying is the tigers and their fans should feel no shame as the tigers have become one of the more successful teams in the past few years and gave the red sox a run for their money. the tigers should continue to reach the postseason often in the next few years with their talented pitchers and and maybe eventually get their well deserved turn to hoist the world series trophy. I do however have a little advice for the team, for the tigers their starters are great but their bullpen is a bit lackluster, they should bring in some good closers which should solve the problem just my opinion anyway. look forward to my Sox taking them on again in the postseason soon!

[@TheTigersfan20]

spot on, brotha. Thanks for watching!

[@SCFick318]

Spoken like a true man, i agree that series was a nail bitter every night

[@keith1668]

congrats man lol the boston red socks won the world series lat year and it was a good thing they did to because i feel so bad about the Boston bombing remeber the maraton that was sad but Good job lol i was really upset when david ortiz got that big grand slam and then he made autin jakson go over the wall LOL that was funny but good job man

[@Hellfire1535]

It was Torii Hunter who went over the wall, which in my opinion isn't funny because he could have gotten seriously hurt especially at his age, which i would never wish on any player even if he was wearing pinstripes. Last year was fun but this year was a major disappointment for Sox fans like me, oh well hope things get better for the both the tigers and the Sox in 2015

[@keith1668]

ik lol the Boston red socks did bad this year and so did the tigers we got creamed by Baltimore but hey maybe the red socks will go to the world series next year and who knows or maybe the tigers lol im not trying to be mean about how i said that red sox did bad but they kinda did and so did the tigers i hope the red socks goes to the world series next year or the tigers lol, and yea it wasn't funny how he flipped over the wall but i bet hes laughing what he did in 2013 lol LETS GO TIGERS LETS GO RED SOCKS oh and who do you want to win the world series this year? for me im voting for the Royals lol there a great team

[@raccoon_bacon6525]

This is a masterpiece to watch in 2021

[@emiliomoya7193]

I have been at some awesome tigers games. I went to JV's first no-hitter game, I went to the 2012 ALCS game against the Yankees, and I went to the game last year where we had that 6 run comeback against the white Sox. WOW

[@Luminosity1]

I was at that White Sox game too!

Tigers I should say lol

I was at that Sox game too! I remember everyone left and then when the Tigers came back all the people who left were begging to come back into the stadium.

[@jimkennedy5202]

Wasn't it a 8 run comeback? Avila with a HR to end it.

[@kyotoandsunchips8585]

I saw that live on TBS and I was so excited when we won

[@keefreef4810]

This was the year torii hunter became my favorite player to exist his soul played a big part in the chemistry of that team watching prince hit the ball so far it hits the roof, Miggy having such an amazing season yet again he seemed unstoppable. The pitching lineup was just unfair. Max, jv, Sanchez, porcello, and fister. V mart being one of the best switch hitters it’s just was simply beautiful. I remember watching most of these clips on tv and just wow it chokes me up.

[@nr63kish]

They need to make it to the series, and win one. They've done it once in my lifetime, but I was too young to remember it.

[@naseemkassab]

Till this day man. So heartbreaking.

[@docdeacon74]

I remember when it all fell apart. Prince got traded. We lost our Aces. Young promising talent in JD and Castellanos were practically given away. Miggy began a sting of injuries that by the end left him shell of the absolute spectacle he was to watch. (He's the greatest hitter of all time and I'll fight anyone to the death to defend it). We had some sparks of light here and there. But it never lasted. We went from one of the darkest ages in tigers baseball to one of the most beautiful Renaissances in baseball history. Sure we never pulled that series championship, but I'd give anything to see the 2006 to 2013 seasons for the first time again. It was some of the most beautiful baseball I'd ever seen and the city of Detroit needed it.

[@b3bishop]

That was a great video. Thanks for all of the good memories. Also thanks for sparing me for what happened in the ALCS vs. Boston. We had that series. The umps made some bad calls that were in the strike zone and Boston won a game the never should have won. The Tigers should have been in the World Series or even won it that year.

30 years since we have won the world series, last two appearances we had swept the alcs and had to rest a few days...

We can do it boys.. lets bring Mike Illitch and the great Tigers fans a championship!
