Chronicle of the 2006 Detroit Tigers
The 2006 Detroit Tigers stormed out and led the NL
through August, when the Yankees, Twins, and Mets surpassed them in league standing. Detroit downed the Yankees for the ALDS, then the Oakland A's in four straight. Magglio Ordonez's walkoff home run capped a perfectly performed National League Championship.
Pitching brought them this far, delivering the best Team ERA and the
best Starters ERA in baseball, 3.84 and 4.00. Their hitters ranked the Tigers top ten in runs scored (822),
team batting average (2.74), homeruns (203), and SLG percentage. The Tigers finished
24 games ahead of last year.
