Detroit Ti^ in Cellar' < I was walking to th< Carolina Coliseum the other da) and I noticed a license plate thai read: The Detroit Tigers ? 198^ World Champions. Such memories. Looking at this year's Tigers, it'; hard to believe they won it all five years ago. This may be the ultimate insult, but the Atlanta Braves are better than baseball's version of the "Bad Boys." Looking at all the professiona sports franchises in Detroit, ii seems as if the Pistons took the winning away from everyone else. 1 am certainly not offering this as the reason for the downfall of Spark) Anderson, and his team, but how could they totally collapse in one year? Unfortunately, Anderson took some leave this year to recovei from an illness. I hope he doesn'1 get sick again from the way thing* are going in Motown.

I Misfortune has plagued the Tigers since last year's All-Star Break. Baseball's best double-play 5 combination of second baseman Lou Whitaker and shortstop Alan Trammel only played 28 games together after the break. Injuries were so common that there was only one everyday player, 1 Chet Lemon, accumulating 500 att bats or more. ; On top of these problems, there's [ a power outage in Detroit.
