		<description><![CDATA[The trade seemed pretty innocent at the time. Near the end of spring training, the Tigers parted ways with Glenn Wilson and John Wockenfuss, and got in return Dave Bergman and Willie Hernandez. Bergman started more games at first base then any other Tiger, and we all know Hernandez went on to win the Cy [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Senior Smoke had one of the more underappreciated careers of any Tiger in 1980s. He emerged as the Tigers&#8217; closer in the last 70s, and his best season might have been 1979, when he finished seventh in the Cy Young. By 1981, he had lost the closer job to Kevin Saucier, and later, Dave Tobik [...]]]></description>

Milt Wilcox had a 16 year career in baseball, and he never won three games more then he lost in a season. Had it not been for his 17-8 [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dan Petry had one of those typical 1980s career. He pitched a ton of innings at an early age, and went from looking like an ace to someone who&#8217;s just a little overmatched. From 1982 through 1985, he pitched no less 233 innings and won no less then 15 games. After that, he never pitched [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At this point, Jack Morris thrives and starves on reputation, and it shows when the voting for the Hall of Fame comes out. He&#8217;s heralded as a clutch pitcher mostly for his 1991 World Series Game Seven ten inning shutout. He had a 4-2 record in the World Series, but he was 4-0 until his [...]]]></description>

His monster three run shot in Game 5 of the 1984 World Series, and an equally impressive Game 1 walk off homer in the 1988 World Series are my two most memorable moments in all of [...]]]></description>

The way he&#8217;d casually go back, stand under the ball, and just sort of hold his mitt under the ball, letting it fall into his glove was classic. Rarely did he catch anything two handed, and rarely did [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sparky Anderson loved to platoon. And left field was no exception in 1984. After coming off of back to back quality seasons in 1982 and 1983, Larry Herndon lost time to the recently acquired Ruppert Jones, who actually outplayed him in the time he got. Herndon, as you&#8217;ll see, had a pretty mediocre season. He [...]]]></description>

But over almost 2,300 career games, he posted a batting average of .285, and an OBP of .352. 1983 was Alan Trammell&#8217;s breakout season. In fact it [...]]]></description>

The switch hitting rookie had a solid campaign his first season, hitting twelve homeruns and driving in fifty in 355 at bats. But for whatever reason, he never was on Sparky&#8217;s good side and during the offseason, he was traded to the Mets for Walt [...]]]></description>

Little did I know that this was common practice for any player with the first name Lou. Lou Piniella apparantly got the chant, as does Lou Merloni (at least he did when he played [...]]]></description>

Signing Darrell Evans was a big deal, similar to the Tiger&#8217;s signing Pudge in 2004 was a big deal. And in 1984, Darrell Evans was a big bust. I won&#8217;t go [...]]]></description>
