Are you rooting for the Detroit Tigers? Better have your Detroit Tigers jerseys ready for the next game. As one of the charter franchises of the American League, the team was founded in 1894 under the Western League. The team was named after a unit of the Detroit Light Guard military. As a major league team, the Tigs took their home court advantage to outplay the Milwaukee Brewers in 1901. That year, they placed 3rd in the league made of 8 teams. The Tigs won the 1907 American League pennant (their first) after a killer combination that included Sam Crawford, George Mullin, Bill Donovan, Hughie Jennings and Ty Cobb. They went on to win 9 more American League pennants and 4 World Series titles.
The Tigs make their home in Detroit, Michigan, where the Detroit Tigers MLB jerseys reign supreme. Detroit is Michigan's largest city. It was nicknamed Motor City due to the strength of the automotive manufacturing industry in the area. The most important car pioneers built their empires here – Chrysler, Packard, Dodge and of course, Ford. While it has an image that is decidedly industrial, Detroit also has a softer side, one that is dedicated to art and beauty. The city is a showcase of different architectural styles, from neo-gothic to Art Deco. Detroit is also home to a number of historic areas and districts, some of which date back before World War II. Detroit is also a city that has a soft spot for the arts, particularly music. It is, after all, the city that became the home base of Motown Records, which produced superstars such as Marvin Gaye, the Supremes, Smokey Robinson and the Jackson Five, to name a few.
