Having finished the previous season a mere game behind
pennant-winning St. Louis, the Detroit Tigers entered spring
training in 1945 determined to complete their drive to the top. Led
by the pitching duo of Hal Newhouser and Paul Trout, benefitting
from the signature career year of Roy Cullenbine and Eddie Mayo,
and buoyed by the July return of Hank Greenberg, the team battled
past the Browns and Senators for the American League title. In the
World Series that followed, the Tigers and the last of the great
Chicago Cubs teams of the century squared off in a memorable,
seven-game World Series.
