Tigers clinch
The Detroit Tigers clinched the American League Central Division title on Friday night, defeating the Oakland A's 3-1 in Oakland.
This marks the first time the Tigers have won a division crown since winning the American League East title in 1987. That's 24 years.
On the night the Tigers clinch the division, wouldn't you know it wasn't Miguel Cabrera, Victor Martinez or Justin Verlander leading the way. Instead it was Ramon Santiago, Wilson Betemit, Don Kelly and Doug Fister leading the charge.
Like most division-winning teams it takes someone different stepping up each and every night to lead a team through the journey.
What put the Tigers over the top? It's simple. It was the trades for Fister, Betemit and Delmon Young. Those three guys, along with the emergence of all-star catcher Alex Avila that helped propel the Tigers to the division crown.
Now, the Tigers can look ahead to the playoffs and hopefully, a World Series. Wouldn't that be something special.
What are your thoughts on this year's Central Division champion Detroit Tigers. I'd love to hear from you.
GO TIGERS!!!
