Brothers and sisters, we have gathered here today not to mourn a death, but celebrate the life of the 2015 Detroit Tigers’ season. It was a season filled with so much promise, but ended with so much disappointment.
When it was in its adolescence, the Tigers gave fans hope with an 11-2 start. They routed the Minnesota Twins and Cleveland Indians and took series from the Pittsburgh Pirates and Chicago White Sox. They were on the road to greatness with Shane Greene and Alfredo Simon both starting the season with 3-0 records and sparkling ERA’s.
