As a Yankee fan, my hat is off to the tigers for what they have accomplished this year win, lose or draw. Leyland has done yet another phenomenal job and if he isnt one of the best managers in the last 25 years in baseball then i dont know who is.
It must be exciting to be a fan of a team like the Tigers. I became a Yankee fan as a small child and i suffered through the debacle in LA in 82 (cried) and all the way through the Mattingly years where the pitching staff consisted of Dave Righetti and whoever else they would suit up. When the yanks won in 96 it was one of the greatest moments in my life as a sports fan.
Its impossible to get that feeling back. The Yanks are now expected to win every year and even a world series victory at this point would be anti climatic.
If i were a tiger fan though? I do envy you. The tigers will lose this series but it will be a fun ride.
