The 1968 World Series competitors looking dapper. Pictured are Tigers greats Willie Horton, Norm Cash, Bill Freehan, Al Kaline, Mickey Lolich, and the Cardinals' Lou Brock. Perhaps the Tigers are having a chuckle with this: "Lou, thanks for NOT sliding!"

Bleacher Report ranks that team in the top 10 of all time.

I recently this year watched the Tigers play the Angels on the Angels telecast and the Angels telecast showed Gibson calling the game for the Tigers, and one of the Angels announcers ? it might?ve been Gubicza, I?m not sure ? said that the 1984 Tigers were the best he?d seen in his life.

If this year?s Dodgers win the World Series, I have a feeling they may crack that list.

The Tigers are now as far away from their last World Series championship in 1984 (39 years) as the 1984 Tigers were from the 1945 championship team (39 years).

The current drought is the longest Tigers fans have ever waited for a title in the history of the franchise.
