For the past 22 years the Tigers have failed to capture the American League pennant. This in itself is amazing, but more amazing is the fact that Detroit is the lone team over seven years of age not to have a pennant flag flying in the breeze. Last year the Tigers lost the AL pennant on the final day of the season. This year appears to be the year the Tigers have the rest of the league by the tail. It would be justice if the starving Detroit fans were fi- nally rewarded with a pennant in 1968. This will be the final year for a team to boast of conquering an entire league. Next year the league will be split into two divisions of six teams due to expansion. _Right now the Tigers are odds-on favorites to take the AL flag, but as the faithful hordes who have walked into Tiger Stadium off Woodward Ave., recall, "We're always blowing it and have to say 'wait until next year." This term the Tigers appear to have that needed intangible which is synonomous. with champions -- desire. Perhaps the most outstand- ing example of this new found desire comes from their usual- ly mild manager, Mayo Smith, a congenial type who wasn't ejected once during the 1967 season. Twice this season Mayo has been bounced. Another plus factor in the Tigers' climb to the top of the American League is their re- markable ability to adjust and, overcome key injuries. This is another trademark of a worthy champion. Al Kaline, one of the most gifted athletes in the game to- Year of the Tiger SPORTS BEAT after being out for a month with a broken bone in his arm. Detroit's won-loss percent- age is the highest in the ma- jors, and the Tigers are win- ning when they shouldn't, com- ing from behind in the last couple of innings. The bullpen has been recon- structed. Gone are Fred 'Glad- ding, Hank Aguirre, Larry Sherry and Dave Wickersham, the foursome which folded so miserably during last year's stretch run at the pennant. This week relief crew, more than anything. else, spelled de- feat for the Tigers last year. Youth has replaced the bull- pen veterans. The young arms } are now marching in from the / bullpen to thwart the enemy bats. Canadian John Hiller from Toronto is one of the important cogs, who didn't re- ceive a penny for signing his contract. Another youngster, Jon Warden, is only in his third year of organized ball. Already he has picked up his first three victories without a loss. As usual, their front-line pitching is more than adequ- ate, and the Tigers have al- ways been able to score runs. Defense hasn't-been a prob- lem in the past, and isn't now. By the end of this month more than one-million people will have paid their way into Tiger Stadium. By October you won't be able to buy a ticket anyway within 50 miles of the city. October is World Series time and the Tigers will be one half of the big show. In fact; Woodward Ave. will be filled with proud fans look- ing up and pointing to not only an American League pennant flying above Tiger Stadium, but also, another flag proclaim- ing Detroit Tigers as cham- pions of the World Series.
