1980

Another division title and 100 more wins for the Tigers in 1980. That's 10 AL East titles in a row and 12 postseason appearances in 14 years.

Bonds (.304-32-107) led the way, with regular supporting cast members LaRussa (.313-22-91 and a shift to SS) and Garr (.282-19-94) doing much of the heavy lifting.

Pitchers Joe McIntosh (18-6, AL ERA Leader at 2.27) and Floyd Bannister (16-7, 3.00) were capable all season, and Enrique Romo (8-7, 3.49, 41 SV) consistently finished the job.

Unfortunanately for the Tigers, McIntosh and Romo are on the DL and inactive for the postseason.
