How magical were the 1968 Detroit Tigers? 15 walk-offs for the year (only 5 teams ever had more). 40 wins when trailing/tied in the 7th or later.
28 wins where they took the lead in final inning. 3 wins in a row when they were 8 outs from losing the World Series. #TigersMagic1968

In his 16-year career, Mickey Lolich had 1017 plate appearances & hit .110 with 0 home runs. In the 1968 World Series, he hit this bomb on his way to Series MVP. It's a super awkward home run trot but it was his first time.
One of the all-time great Tigers. #DetroitRoots
