The Tigers went from worse to first in 3 years and made it to the World Series, which unfortunately they lost in 5 games. Ironically it was against the St Louis Cardinals so I think each generation of Kleiber has gotten to see a Detroit/St Louis World Series.

One of the earliest and strongest memories I have is of the Tigers winning the World Series in 1968 (against the same Cardinals). They won it again in 1984 but it wouldn’t be until 2006 that they would reach the fall classic again. We took James downtown to share in some of the excitement of a World Series, since it has only seems to happen once every 20 years. Hopefully the Tigers will deliver a World Championship before the next 20 years. To be honest with you, it was so cold this day I could not imagine how they were able to play baseball at all. Baseball needs to shorten its season.
