1972 Detroit Tigers Season
The 1972 Detroit Tigers won the American League East division championship with a record of 86-70 (.551), finishing one-half game ahead of the Boston Red Sox. They played one more game than the Red Sox due to a scheduling quirk caused by the 1972 Major League Baseball strike -- a game which turned out to allow them to win the division. They lost the 1972 American League Championship Series to the Oakland A's three games to two.

“Even tigers sometimes take naps.”
—Chinese proverb.
“To me a book is a message from the gods to mankind; or, if not, should never be published at all.... A message from the gods should be delivered at once. It is damnably blasphemous to talk about the autumn season and so on. How dare the author or publisher demand a price for doing his duty, the highest and most honourable to which a man can be called?”
—Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)
