Top Ten Best Detroit Sports Teams of All-Time

The Top Ten
1 1984 Detroit Tigers (MLB)

Bless you boys, this team had it all and in a year when speed kills in a city known for making cars. This team was running on all cylinders and turning the American League East into the Detroit Tigers East. The outcome and the season were never in doubt. 104 wins that includes Jack Morris' no-hitter, the greatness of Lou Whitaker and Alan Trammel, Willie Hernandez MVP Season, the easily 3 game sweep over the Western Division champion Kansas City Royals and the conquest of the World Championship transform a city into Tiger Town U.S.A.

7 2007–08 Detroit Red Wings (NHL)
8 2006 Detroit Tigers (MLB)
9 1989 Detroit Pistons (NBA)
10 1991 Detroit Lions (NFL)

Since 1957, the Lions had not returned to the championship team, and the closest they ever come to playing in the Super Bowl was this team. 1991 was another Lions year with Barry Sanders, who did not disappoint the Lion faithful by rushing again for over 1,000 yards, but the team was plagued by injuries, but nothing was more crunching than that of Mike Utley. But instead of folding the team came together for the team and Utley and they responded with a season ending 6-game winning streak, a 12-4 record and in the playoffs at home they beat the Dallas Cowboys.
