I have been a fan since the 70's. Rusty Staub and Ron Leflore were my first two favorites of the Tigers back then.

My father had a t-shirt: "I Was a Tiger Fan Before It Was Cool"
Al Kaline (the most graceful ballplayer... ever!), Charlie Maxwell (he was something special on Sundays), Billy Bruton (a GREAT center fielder), Jake Wood (a phenomenal base stealer... if he ever got on base!), Jim Bunning, Phil Regan, Don Mossi, Frank Larry (the Yankee Killer)... these were the Tigers I grew up with.
1968 was cool, 1984 was great, but 1961 may have been the best Tiger team of all time... except that the Yankees had two guys named Mantle and Maris who dismantled the league that year.
Let's enjoy this roll while it lasts! 4-0 and a day off tomorrow to savor it. Johnson pitches again on Saturday. Who knows.....!
