My faith has been restored.

You, the Detroit sports fans and Free Press readers, have restored my faith by voting Red Wings forward Gordie Howe over Tigers outfielder Ty Cobb as the best pro athlete in Detroit team history in Freep.com’s Tournament of G.O.A.T.

I’ll be honest. My faith was a little shaken for a while when I saw some upsets, and particularly 15th seed Matthew Stafford’s Cinderella run to the Lions bracket final against top seed Barry Sanders.
