Detroit Tigers Stats & Team History

Founded in 1984 as the Detroit Tigers, the team is the oldest franchise in baseball that has not changed its name. They started as a minor league team and went professional in 1901; they joined the MLB, since they became an original team in the league. From then on, they have won four World Series, playing in 11. The Tigers’ team stats show that despite being a historic team, they have not been consistent, with their longest streak of seasons in the playoffs at just four.

The Detroit Tigers team stats are headlined by Ty Cobb, one of the best players in baseball history. He played all 24 years of his career with the Tigers, which started in 1905, and is one of the most consistent hitters in baseball history.
