Wasn't that the year Denny McLain won 30 games?

And of course, Bob Gibson pitched games 1, 4, and 7, winning two of them; and Mickey Lolich pitched 3 games (2, 5, and 7?), winning all of them.

Don't get me started reminiscing...I'll be up all night.

Cheers!

My sister got to go to that 30th win game. Our grade school in Detroit rewarded graduating 8th graders with a B+ or better average a trip to a Tiger game in the middle of the summer. It turns out that that long before designated day was McLain's 30th (out of 31?) win.

While I was a 7th grader enjoying the Tiger victory, my future husband was a downcast high school senior in suburban St. Louis, convinced that the Cardinals had been robbed. We are hoping for a rematch this year.

Congrats to the Tigers fans.. It's been a long time since you've had a team to cheer for and these guys are worthy of it. They'll have their hands full against Jokeland, but it'll be a good series..

Today's game is just a formality.
