Detroit Tigers vs. St. Louis Cardinals

It’s 1968 all over again. And while the Tigers don’t have a 30 game winner (Denny McLain) this go around, neither do the Cards have anyone of Bob Gibson’s stature. Tiger Stadium and the 1968-vintage Busch Stadium won’t house the games. I didn’t know how to walk during the ‘68 Series (I’m told I took my first steps right after the Tigers clinched Game 7), and now I’m an accomplished biped. So much is different…

Not the least of which is this: The Tigers won the ‘68 Series in 7 games — it won’t take them nearly that long to win it this time around!

The schedule:
Game 1 - Saturday 10/21 @ 6:30pm CDT - Comerica Park, Detroit
Game 2 - Sunday 10/22 @ 6:30pm CDT - Comerica Park, Detroit
Game 3 - Tuesday, 10/24 @ 7:00pm CDT - Busch Stadium, St. Louis
Game 4 - Wednesday, 10/25 @ 7:00pm CDT - Busch Stadium, St. Louis
* Game 5 - Thursday, 10/26 @ 7:00pm CDT - Busch Stadium, St. Louis
* Game 6 - Saturday 10/28 @ 6:30pm CDT - Comerica Park, Detroit
* Game 7 - Sunday 10/29 @ 6:30pm CST - Comerica Park, Detroit
