In the 1994 movie, “Angels in the Outfield,” (a remake of the 1951 film by the same title) angels use their skills to help a lousy team get close to an elusive championship. One angel tells a young fan, who knows about the unearthly assistance, that the angels would not be helping the team win anymore because “championships have to be won on their own.”
While he is no angel, Dave Dombrowski used his powers to help a lousy team get close to an elusive championship on numerous occasions, but the team fell short each time.
You know by now that the Detroit Tigers and Dave Dombrowski severed ties to one another a couple days ago.
