Here’s a riddle: if the MLB playoffs are underway but the Detroit Tigers aren’t involved, are they really happening? Well, yes, technically. The Tigers have only made the playoffs 16 times in their 116-year history, and Major League Baseball has done its best to crown a champion in most of those seasons. Barring some major catastrophe, 2016 will be no different.
The lack of crisp, white, Olde English D uniforms in these playoffs may not phase some of you. Baseball is baseball, after all, and the postseason can be exciting no matter who is involved.
It’s more fun to have a dog in the fight, though, and that’s where we come in.
