2006 = 1968
1968 World Series
vs. 
2006 World Series
vs. 
Detroit Tigers vs. St. Louis Cardinals
It’s 1968 all over again. And while the Tigers don’t have a 30 game winner (Denny McLain) this go around, neither do the Cards have anyone of Bob Gibson’s stature. Tiger Stadium and the 1968-vintage Busch Stadium won’t house the games. I didn’t know how to walk during the ’68 Series (I’m told I took my first steps right after the Tigers clinched Game 7), and now I’m an accomplished biped. 
So much is different…
Not the least of which is this: The Tigers won the ’68 Series in 7 games — it won’t take them nearly that long to win it this time around!
The schedule:
Game 1 – Saturday 10/21 @ 6:30pm CDT – Comerica Park, Detroit
Game 2 – Sunday 10/22 @ 6:30pm CDT – Comerica Park, Detroit
Game 3 – Tuesday, 10/24 @ 7:00pm CDT – Busch Stadium, St. Louis

2006:
Go Tigers!
Go Tigers!
My grandpa was a huge Tigers fan so I’ve always been a bit of one. With Grandpa gone this year, I’ll have to do the “rootin’” for him.
