1991 AL Regular Season Playoff Game: Tor. @ Det.

October 7, 1991

  In the most dramatic finish to a game I've had in a very long time, my Detroit Tigers won their regular season playoff game against the Toronto Blue Jays with a Cecil Fielder walk-off homerun in the bottom of the 9th inning. The Tigers had built a 5-2 lead heading into the 8th inning, but Candy Maldanado hit a 3-run homer off Mike Hennemann to cap off a 4 run inning. Then the bottom of the 9th game up with Detroit still trailing 6-5.
 Tony Phillips started the inning by popping out. Lou Whitaker walked, for the 4th time in the game. Alan Trammel hit into a force-out, leaving the Tigers with a runner on 1st and 2 out. Cecil Fielder came to the plate with the crowd on their feet and I rolled a 1-9, a ballpark homerun chance of 1-15 and flyout 16-20. I rolled a 15! Fielder's hit barely cleared the fence for a game winning, walkoff 2-run homer. The fans went wild (and so did I) as Detroit won the AL East Pennant!

It was a great finish at Tiger Stadium as the impressive Detroit Tigers pulled
off a dramatic comeback beating the Toronto Blue Jays by the count of 7 to
6.
 
Detroit came through with the game-winning runs in the 9th inning plating 2
runs.  After an out was recorded, Lou Whitaker started the attack as he drew
a walk.  One out later, Cecil Fielder came to bat and popped a two-run clout
over the fence resulting in a mighty exciting win for Detroit and the 45,487
home town fans in attendance.  Detroit managed 7 hits in their victory.
 
Mike Henneman(10-7) got the win allowing 1 run in 1 and 2/3 innings. Jim
Acker(4-6) was charged with the loss in relief.  'Now there is a lesson in
perseverance for you,' Fielder noted.  'It was looking pretty dim there for a
while, but we just kept plugging away and it really paid off in spades! And
it was great to see the crowd go crazy there at the end!'

TEAM RISP- Blue Jays: 3 for 9  Tigers: 3 for 9
 
With the crowd on their collective feet, screaming at the top of their lungs,
very potent Detroit Tigers rallied to top Toronto Blue Jays by the score of 7
to 6.
 
Detroit scored the winning runs in the 9th inning scoring 2 runs. After an out
was recorded, Lou Whitaker keyed the rally when he drew a walk.  After
another out, Cecil Fielder came up and he cleared the fences for a two-run
home run giving Detroit the win and sending the home town fans into a frenzy.
Detroit banged out 7 hits on the night.  
 
Mike Henneman(10-7) got credit for the victory, pitching 1 and 2/3 innings and
allowing 1 run. Jim Acker(4-6) took the loss in relief.  
 
Henneman and Fielder were really whooping it up in the clubhouse after the
great come from behind victory.  As Sparky Anderson noted, 'A win like this
one can do wonders for a team's attitude.' Everyone shares in the joy - the
fans, the players - even you guys - it's better than winning by a dozen
runs!'

Bill Gullickson pitched a complete game as the amazing Detroit Tigers beat the
Cleveland Indians by a score of 4 to 2.
 
Detroit came up with 2 runs in the bottom of the 2nd inning when they had 3
base hits.  The highlight belonged to Milt Cuyler who thrilled the crowd when
he laced a one-base hit bringing in two baserunners.  Detroit finished with
10 hits in the victory.  
 
Gullickson(17-14) lasted until the end allowing 2 runs for the win. Eric
King(10-3) was the loser.  He gave up 10 hits and 3 walks in 8 innings.
 
'Gullickson took our guys to school' Mike Hargrove said. 'Too bad he doesn't
pitch for us - it would make my job a whole lot easier!'

Frank Tanana shut down the Milwaukee batters on just 1 hit as the Detroit
Tigers defeated the Milwaukee Brewers by a score of 1 to 0 at Tiger
Stadium.
 
Tanana(16-7) was simply too much for the Milwaukee batters.  He didn't give up
much, just 1 hit and 1 walk in 9 innings.  The Milwaukee batters didn't put
up a fight in the 9th.  
 
Bill Wegman(14-9) was tagged with the loss.  'I thought it was my best
performance in a long time,' said Tanana. 'I had good command early in the
game. I had my control and composure and everything went well.'

Albert Belle ripped 3 homeruns and had 8 RBI while Doug Jones went the distance 
as the Cleveland Indians destroyed the Detroit Tigers by a score of 17 to 3 at
Municipal Stadium.
 
Belle was really 'in the zone'.  He smashed a solo-shot out of the park in the
3rd inning, launched a Grand Slam homerun in the 3rd inning and lofted a
three-run bomb in the 4th inning.  Cleveland lit up the scoreboard in the 3rd
inning which saw them plate 9 runs on 7 hits and the 4th inning tallying 5
runs.  Cleveland totaled 17 hits on the night.  
 
Jones(1-7) lasted until the end allowing 3 runs for the win. Walt Terrell(9-8)
was the loser.  He was knocked around pretty good, giving up 7 runs in 2
innings.  
 
'I didn't feel that good when I came to the park tonight,' Belle said.  'I'm
glad I decided to play!'

1991 AL Game: Bsn. @ Det.

September 11,1991

  Cecil Fielder hit his 50th homerun of the season tonight but the Boston Red Sox won the ballgame 7-3. Fielder hit the homerun, a 2-run shot, in the 1st inning but that was about all the offense the Tigers could muster. The Red Sox's offense was led by Phil Plantier who hit 2 homeruns and had 4 RBI. Matt Young pitched well after the 1st inning and got the Win for Boston.  With the loss, the Toronto Blue Jays pulled within 4 games of 1st place Detroit.

Phil Plantier blasted 2 homeruns and had 4 RBI and Matt Young retired 10
batters on strikeouts as the Boston Red Sox bested the Detroit Tigers 7 to 3
at Tiger Stadium.
 
Plantier provided the offensive punch.  He laced a base-hit in the 1st inning,
cracked a two-run shot in the 5th inning and clubbed a two-run home run in
the 7th inning.  Boston managed 8 hits in their victory.  
 
The victory went to Young(7-3) who went 7 and 2/3 innings, allowing 3 runs.
Walt Terrell(9-7) was the loser.  He gave up 7 hits and 4 walks in 6 innings.
 
Young didn't realize how many strikeouts he was racking up.  When told he had
10 he was obviously surprised, 'No kidding? Man, I knew that I had a decent
total, but I didn't think I had K'd that many.  Say, that's pretty good,
isn't it?'

Frank Tanana carried a no-hitter into the 6th inning and Alan Trammell had 4
hits as the sizzling Detroit Tigers defeated the Boston Red Sox in 13 innings
by the score of 3 to 2 at Tiger Stadium.
 
The score was knotted at 2 after nine innings.  Detroit won it in the 13th
inning.  After an out was recorded, Rob Deer lofted a solo-blast 'downtown'
resulting in an exciting win for Detroit and a wild post-game celebration by
the home town fans.  Boston had 11 hits in the game while Detroit had 8, but
Detroit had the more timely hits.  
 
Mike Henneman(8-6) picked up the victory, allowing no runs in 2 innings.  The
left-handed Tanana lost his no-hit bid when Tom Brunansky singled with nobody
out in the 6th inning.  Greg Harris(5-12) ended up with the loss in relief.
He gave up 1 run and 1 hit in 2 innings.

1991 AL Detroit Tiger Game and News

August 25, 1991

 The Detroit Tigers won a hard fought game in extra innings today against the Seattle Mariners. With the game tied 2-2, Cecil Fielder hit a dramatic walk off homerun with 2 out in the 10th inning. For Fielder, it was his MLB leading 45th homer of the season and league leading 112th RBI.
 Detroit will now head out to the west coast for an 8 game road trip starting in California. They currently have a 6 game lead over the 2nd place Toronto Blue Jays. The Tigers received some bad news on Mike Henneman today. He'll be out about 3 weeks with an undisclosed injury. That'll put even more pressure on Detroit's already suspect bullpen.

WEB GEMS- Top 18th: Roberto Alomar robbed Roberto Kelly of a base hit.
 
Roberto Alomar had 4 hits and 2 RBI as the Toronto Blue Jays defeated the New
York Yankees in 24 innings by the score of 5 to 4 at The Skydome.
 
The game was deadlocked at 2 after nine full innings.  Finally, Toronto pulled
the game out in the 24th inning.  After an out was recorded, Kelly Gruber
kicked off the action when he clubbed a solo home run.  Rene Gonzales was
next and he drew a walk.  Greg Myers then drew a walk.  One out later, Devon
White stepped up to the plate and he drew a walk to load the bases.  Alomar
came up to bat and laced a base-hit making Toronto the winners and sending
the 46,817 fans home happy.  Toronto lit up the scoreboard in the 24th inning
tallying 3 runs.  Toronto rapped out 20 hits for the afternoon.  
 
Bob Macdonald(2-4) got credit for the victory, pitching 1 inning and allowing
no runs. Greg Cadaret(2-6) suffered the loss in relief.
