The 2019 Detroit Tigers will not finish with a worse record than 2003

With how bad the Detroit Tigers have been over the course of the 2019 season, there was some concern that they would finish with a worse record than the historically bad 2003 Detroit Tigers. Last night, the Detroit Tigers earned their 43rd win on the year to tie their win count in 2003, which means they will not finish worse, even if they lose all their remaining games.

A look back at the 2003 Tigers

Despite having such an awful record, there are definitely some notable names from the team in 2003. Dmitri Young led the team in batting average and WAR as a designated hitter.
