As a 6 year old I played the hell out of this record on my brothers record player. Along with his Beatle records !

Is Ray Lane still around? Last I saw he was on channel 50 when they shared the Red Wings wth FSD.

These guys were a throwback to the Gas House Gang-type of teams from the 1930s. They played hard on field and off the diamond as well. I still hear stories from people who were "in the know" about this team from 1963 through about 1970 and they were a bunch of characters. My dad took me out to Tiger Stadium for my birthday present - Games 3 (October 5, my birthday) and 4 were already sold out so 5 was it and I'm happy about that because Mickey Lolich won to keep the Tigers alive in the Series.

@Destry7 I would like to have seen them. I have one of the 68 games on a dvd but it would have been fun to see them live.

@Destry7 yep...Gator, Tracewski, Price, Matchick. In fact, Tom Matchick had one of the more memorable game winning moments of the year, a bottom of the 9th homer to beat the Orioles...all cheered after the ball was hit, then just before it cleared the fence, the ENTIRE stadium collectively went silent, then, of course, went crazy. But it was a crazy year. Hey, even pitcher Earl Wilson had four game winning RBI that year.

@johnnyu278 Actually, they lost the game 10-1. McLain just didn't seem to have it. He pitched well in the first game, and avenged his two losses with a win in game 6 (13-1), setting up Lolich vs Gibson in game 7.

@shireyp They were behind 3-0 in that game, and then...

This was a team that would not be denied. I've never witnessed a team, in any sport, that so adamantly refused to fail. Everyone, even the reserves stepped up & produced when fate was on their shoulders. And there was never a more thrilling & dramatic World Seies than when the '68 Tigers recovered from a 3-1 deficit to whip Lou Brock, Curt Flood, Bob Gibson & the rest of the very intimidating St. Louis Cardinals, when no one gave them a chance. Detroit needed it & these guys came through!
