tAii .hsten to anyone who tries to
you that the Detroit Tigers won the
mencan League East crown by virtue
i their 35-5 start to the season.
The Tigers would have won the
aivision even if they got off to an
average start. ;
After all, even after those pheno
menal first 40 games, when a slump or
a slowdown would have been expected,
the Tigers dominated the AL to the tune
of a .565 winning percentage over their
last 122 games. By comparison, the
Toronto Blue Jays, who finished with
the second best record in the AL, had
a .550 winning percentage for the year.
Detroit
No doubt the start helped, but there
was simply nothing stopping this young,
talented team which finally put it all
together this season.
Five years ago when Sparky Ander
son became manager of the Tigers, he
saw the young talent on the ballclub
and predicted that the Tigers would be
division winners in 1984. Apparently,
Sparky's timetable was right on the
mark.
Last year's second-place team turned
in to this year's first-place team as
Anderson coupled the performances of
Lou Whitaker, Alan Trammel, Lance

the best record . . .
Parrish, Larry Herndon and Jack
Morris, all of whom had better years
in 1983, with the performances of Kirk
Gibson, Chet Lemon, Howard Johnson
and Willie Hernandez, who all finally
came into their own in 1984.
The Tigers are a complete team. They
have great hitting, pitching and fielding.
They scored more runs than any other
team in the AL and they gave up the
fewest. It is not easy finding a weakness
on their team.
Their pitching is relatively young and
deep, and their staff includes no less
than four players who should fare well
in the Cy Young voting: Morris (19
11, 3.59 ERA), Dan Petry (18-8, 3.24),
Aurelio Lopez (10-0, 2.68, 14 saves) and
Hernandez (9-2, 1.91, 32 saves).
The Tigers everyday lineup brings
meaning to the cliche of being strong
up the middle, by showing that if a team
can get strong offensive contributions
from the normally weak hitting posi
tions of catcher, second base, shortstop
and center field, then there is virtually
no stopping them from fielding a
championship calibre offense.
In fact, most of the Tigers offense
comes from clean-up hitting catcher
Parrish (33 home runs), lead-off hitting
second baseman Whitaker (.356 on
base percentage, 13 HR, 56 RBI),
shortstop Trammell (.380 OB, .314 BA,
14 HR) and center fielder Lemon (.350
OB, 20 HR, 76 RBI).
For the record
In the story "CGC votes to withdraw

Africa, not the student government. The

With those four, it was simply a
matter of filling out the other positions.
With the exception of Gibson (.363 OB,
27 HR, 91 RBI, 29 SBs) in right field
and second year player Johnson (.326
OB, 12 HR, 47 RBI) at third, the team
basically got below-average outputs '
from the usual big-offense positions of
left field, first base, and designated
hitter.
In left field. Larry Herndon had a
terrible year (.275 BA, 7 HR) in
comparison to his 1983 season (.302 BA,
20 HR), and at DH and first base the
Tigers platooned and shuffled several
players. The most effective was free
agent pickup Darrell Evans, who at 36,
having spent his career in Atlanta and
San Francisco, said he came to the
Tigers despite having been offered more
money elsewhere because he wanted a
chance at playing on a World Series
winner. While Evans (.353 OB, 16 HR)
is still a productive player, his contri
bution is no where near some of the
AL's other DHs and first basemen,
which include Eddie Murray, Andre
Thornton, Kent Hrbek, Mike Easier,
Don Mattingly and Alvin Davis.

But don't count Royals out yet
By LEE ROBERTS
Assistant Sports Editor
Talk about no respect.
The Kansas City Royals clinched
their fifth American League Western
Division title in nine years Friday night,
but did they get applauded for this
admirable feat?
Snickered at is more like it.
Kansas City
"If the sport of major league baseball
had any pride it would have outlawed
the American League West," one Daily
Tar Heel columnist wrote in today's
paper. Boston Globe sportswriter Peter
Gammons coined the phrase, "the A.L.
Worst" in describing the division that
the Royals have pretty much monop
olized since 1976.
Granted, these complaints have a
certain amount of validity, seeing as the
three teams in contention for this year's
title (the Royals, the Twins and the
Angels) seemed at times to be trying

to become the first division winner in
history to have a losing record. Trying
hard.
They HJHn't make it but they came
close, he ..ever, as Kansas City finished
with an 84-78 record, the worst record
to win a division in the 83-year history
of the American League. The 84 wins
was also the second-worst record to win
a division title since major league
baseball began in 1876 (the New York
Mets hold that distinction, stumbling
their way to 82 victories in 1973). Pretty
silly, huh?
From the sounds of things, the
Detroit Tigers, who punished league
opponents for 104 wins this season,
should stomp these pitiful Royals into
the Astroturf when the A.L. Champion
ship Series begins tonight at 8 p.m.
(televised on ABC) in Royals Stadium.
Before everyone starts to wager on
who the Tigers will be facing in the
World Series, however, a few things
should be considered.
First of all, when those aforementi
oned stumbling Mets won the National
League East in 1973, they won it from
four other teams who were in conten
tion for the pennant going into the final
week. Much like these Royals, those
Mets finished out their season in the
heat of a highly competitive pennant
race. They went on to defeat the
Cincinnati Reds (managed at the time
by Sparky Anderson, now the Tigers'
manager), who had won 99 games that

year, and took the then-powerful
Oakland A's to the seventh game of the
World Series before they lost.
The Royals have been playing impor
tant games every time out since mid
August, while the Tigers, much like
those Reds of 1973, havent played a
crucial series since early September.
This leads to the second point, that
these Royals may have their intensity-for-the-big-game
mentality honed a
little sharper than the Tigers. Some
times it's not so easy to turn the level
of play up or down at whim.
One indication that the Royals have
indeed sharpened their competitive
blade is that they are hot. Momentum
means a whole lot more in the playoffs
than a 35-5 start in April and May, and
Kansas City has that momentum: a 44
26 record since July 18, the best record
in baseball. Better than the Cubs, better
than the Padres and better than the
Tigers.
And if experience in the playoffs can
be considered, the Royals certainly have
the edge in that department as well. Ten
players remain from the 1980 A.L.
Champion team, including George
Brett, Willie Wilson, Dan Quisenberry,
Hal McRae, U.L. Washington and
Frank White.
But, as Royals' second baseman
Frank White said recently, "I don't
think that matters at all. You still have
to pitch and hit."
