This is more fun than when we had teams that were loaded with all stars, Cy Young winners and future Hall of Famers because it is so surprising and unexpected. You expected those guys to win. And it hurt badly when it didn’t work out. But getting more than you bargained for is really something.

The Tigers have never had a team like this - one that was not supposed to win and was pretty much out of it half way through the season and the came out of nowhere to be arguably the best team in baseball down the stretch.  This is unprecedented.

Yeah, 1972 was aging stars that Billy Martin kicked in the butt to win. That year was kind of a surprise. But nothing like this. We fell into the trap of an artifical playoff race. Exciting but there's too many playoff teams.

And it’s fun not having big guys clogging up the bases. I keep bringing up the Giants as a model and this team reminds me of them.  guys who can run the bases and play defense.
