The Detroit’s blue laws prohibited baseball from being played at Bennett Park on Sundays, this made the owner James D. Burns build a ballpark (on his own property) and named it “Burns Park” and this was where Detroit Tigers ticket holding fans go to watch the team play their home games for the 1902 and the 1902 seasons during their Sunday home games. An elegant stadium was constructed eleven years later on the site of Bennett Park and was named “Navin Feild.”

About The Detroit Tigers
Ty Cobb was acquired by the club in 1905. Cobb was known as a prolific, fearless player with a pretty mean streak who was regarded as one of the greatest baseball players of all time. Detroit Tiger ticket holders were thrilled to have Cobb added to a team of already talented players such as Hughie Jennings, George Mullin, Sam Crawford and Bill Donovan, this combination sure yielded positive results as the team won their first American League pennant in 1907.
In the 1907 fall classic, the team lost against the Chicago Cubs – with the exclusion of Game 1, which ended in a tie. Even though the team failed to achieve more than one run in any game and lost 4 straight, Detroit Tigers ticket holding fans felt the team just needed some time to get themselves together.
The Tigers won a then-club record 100 games in 1915, but barely lost the AL pennant to the Boston Red Sox who won 101 games in total. The 1915 Detroit Tigers team was led by an outfield which consisted of Ty Cobb, Bobby Veach and Sam Crawford. The team finished #1, #2, and #3 in RBI’s and total bases. Fans with Detroit Tigers tickets were pleased to see Ty Cobb set a stolen base record with 96 steals in 1915 season and this record stood for 47 years.
During the 1930’s the Tigers were consistently among the league’s best with stars like “Black Mike” Mickey Cochrane behind the plate, Hank Greenberg the slugger at first and Charlie Gehringer (who was famous for his consistency) also known as the “Mechanical Man” at second. The consistent victories increased the sales of Detroit Tigers tickets.
In 1935 the team eventually won the world Series, they defeated the Cubs four games to two and went on to win the 1935 World Series championship. This sure put smiles on the faces of Detroit Tigers ticket holding fans.
The Detroit Tigers won the World Series four times 1984, 1968, 1945 and 1935. They won the American League Pennants ten times 1907, 1908, 1909, 1934, 1935, 1940, 1945, 1968, 1984, and 2006. The Tigers also won three East Division titles 1972, 1984 and 1987.
The sale of Detroit Tigers tickets at Comerica Park have steadily increased over the years, which means that thousands of baseball fans would not want to miss the opportunity to view the team play live.
The Detroit Tigers have run away with the American League Central in 2009. They have absolutely dominated at home, but have struggled on the road. Those road struggles could be a major issue in the playoffs since they will likely go into the postseason without home field-advantage in the ALDS and ALCS.
The Tigers have won with surprisingly string pitching despite a large portion the team’s salary tied up in the batting order, which has struggled throughout the season. The Tigers fans may be a little worried about the starting rotation. After Edwin Jackson and Justin Verlander the pitching gets iffy. Midseason acquisition Jarrod Washburn was supposed to be the one of the answers, but he has not exactly thrived since the trade. The Tigers will definitely come into the postseason as underdogs, but if the bats can find some life this team may be able to make it back to the World Series.
