1968 AL Pennant Clincher
When the arms are loaded and the scoreboard stays dark, the pennant is inevitable.
The 1968 American League pennant clincher stands as one of the most quietly devastating victories in Tigers history. In a season that would be forever branded the 'Year of the Pitcher,' Detroit's rotation strangled the league into submission, and the pennant was locked down in the final stretch of September at Tiger Stadium.
That pennant carried the Tigers to the 1968 World Series.
