This thread just happened to show up after my post wondering aloud why MPI never acknowledged the 1984 Tigers' World Series victory. :wink:

When MPI originally aired, Florida didn't have an MLB team, so people would adopt a team from elsewhere. Having said that, it stands to reason that one becomes a fan of a team because they like the team, not necessarily the city in which said team is based.

As to the op's question: not a Tigers or A.L. fan in general, but I admired the quality play of Alan Trammell, Kirk Gibson, Lance Parrish, and Lou Whitaker.
Sorry, as a Brit. What is A.L?

Major League Baseball, or MLB, has two leagues: the American League and the National League. The Tigers belong to the American League.

BTW, congratulations on the Three Lions breaking that damned penalty curse in the World Cup Round of 16 yesterday.
