Detroit Tigers: Today, the league, tomorrow, the world!

In the bottom of the ninth, with the score tied, two on, two out, Magglio Ordonez hits the ball so hard that it launches into the night sky with a vapor trail coming off of it -- a home run, left field, game over and the Tigers win the pennant.

Unbelieveable! Kids will be telling their grandchildren about this one forever...

Mitch Albom:

What a finish. What theatre. As Ordonez circled the bases, and the fountains exploded and the scoreboard flashed "World Series Bound!", the Tigers flew like magnets to home plate. The coaches chugged after them. The pitchers came racing out of the bullpen as if it were on fire. And they all waited for Ordonez to reach them, to officially touch the rubber that lay in the middle of that maddeningly happy huddle, to officially send them to a place this franchise hasn't seen in 22 years.
