The Detroit Tigers are the 1983 World Series Champions!
The Tigers took the series 4-2. Lance Parrish hit .375 and hit 3 home runs to take MVP honors. With the exception of game 2, when the Tigers won 10-2, each game was very close with the Tigers coming out just ahead in the end. That's back to back for the Tigers heading into 1984.
