After watching the Phils fall short of the playoffs (I just wanted to cheer Moyer on in his quest to finally earn a ring), I wasn’t sure who to cheer for this October. I thought maybe the Twins, but Oakland was kind enough to squash that idea rather quickly.

And then I saw the way Detroit raced back onto the field to share their celebration with the fans after they beat New York and I instatly knew who I wanted to go all the way. Most teams jump around on the field for a minute, then run in the locker room and celebrate by themselves, leaving the fans cheering in the stands until they get tired and finally leave to go party at the bars. But Detroit got inside, looked at each other, and said to hell with this, let’s go celebrate with the fans. And before you knew it, 25 guys were racing around the stadium, high fiving every average joe they saw and pouring champagne over anybody who got close enough.

It took all of 30 seconds for the entire nation to go from “Who are these guys?” to “Man, I wish I was a Tigers fan.”

Go Tigers!!!
