The Detroit Tigers at various times this summer looked like they might not make the playoffs. Now they're going to the World Series.
The underdog Tigers beat the Yankees 8-1 on Thursday evening in Detroit, completing a four-game sweep of the New York club in the American League Championship Series.
Detroit, heading to its second World Series in seven years, will face either the St. Louis Cardinals or the San Francisco Giants next.
Of the five American League playoff clubs, the Tigers had the worst record (88-74). They trailed the White Sox for the Central Division's automatic playoff spot for part of the season, but won eight of their last 10 regular-season games to clinch the division.

Nothing beats baseball, beer, and pepperoni pizza.
Oh, I already am, chrissy.
giraldi is a horrible manager,he should get fired today. he never defended his players and did the line up only after reading the post and daylinews to see what other people commented about him
To me the Yankees are not the Bronx Bombers but the Bronx Bums
No one likes baseball.
Whoever made your Names Derek Jeter and A-Rod, You should probably never talk again. Thats the gayest thing ive ever seen.
Bless you boys!
Glad to see Detroit pull this off. Not a fan, but I like seeing the underdogs step up and annihilate the best team money can buy. Money can't buy heart, though. Hope my Giants are the ones to face the Tigers in the World Series. Would be a great battle of the under dogs.
I agree with this 100%! While my team is not any of the teams that were playing (Brewers), I will always cheer for the underdog over the other.
Haa! Good. Anyone but the Yankmees.
