Not many moments can top a walk-off home run to send your team into the World Series. In Game 4 of the 2006 ALCS, that is exactly what Ordóñez did for the city of Detroit. In front of a home crowd, fans were treated to one of the most memorable plays in Tigers history.
1968 Regular Season
McLain’s 30th Win Starting Lineup
Detroit vs Oakland

14 September, 1968
It had been 34 years since a pitcher had last won 30 games in one season. Since Denny McLain won 30 games for Detroit in 1968, no pitcher has came close to accomplishing the feat. 1968 is also memorable for Detroit’s World Series victory but World Series are won every year – this was truly special.
