The Detroit Tigers have been in the MLB for over 110 years. They are part of an elite group of teams that includes the Chicago White Sox, Philadelphia Phillies, Pittsburgh Pirates, and St. Louis Cardinals for the oldest continually used names in baseball. The Tigers have been in business for 12 years more than the New York Yankees and 3 more than the Chicago Cubs. But, despite the Tigers lengthy and fascinating history, there are only six retired numbers (not including Jackie Robinson‘s 42.) It is time to retire more.
There are technically six players, one manager, and one broadcaster that are recognized in the outfield at Comerica Park.
