THOSE TIGERS
The Detroit Tigers had never won a World Series, losing chances in 1907, 1908, 1909 and 1934. The Chicago Cubs had lost their last four series, falling in 1910, 1918, 1929 and 1932 after winning in 1907 and 1908. The fortunes of the Detroit Tigers would change in 1935, a year in which the Fall Classic matched Charlie Grimm's Chicago Cubs who had won 21 consecutive games in September, against the Tigers. Detroit won the hard way without slugging first baseman Hank Greenberg, who missed the last four games of the Series with a broken wrist. Greenberg was coming off of a remarkable season in which he slammed 36 home runs, drove in 170 runs (100 by the All-Star break) and batted .328. While neither team excelled overall, the Tigers at least (and at last!) won the World Series. In 1945, again it was Detroit vs. the Chicago Cubs.
Also included are a collection of newsreel stories on the Tigers in various games in the 1950's.Newsreel highlights along with a bonus newsreel of sports commentator Mel Allen presenting sports immortals such as babe Ruth, Grover Cleveland Alexander, Red Grange, Bobby Jones and others.
