Who Was the Better World Champion Team, the '68 or '84 Detroit Tigers?

Stars from both teams will debate at Dec. 4 military fundraiser.

For nearly 30 years Detroit baseball fans have debated the following question. Which World Championship team was better, the ’68 or ’84 Tigers?

That discussion will continue at the “Show-Down In Mo-Town,” when several stars from both squads will participate in a special evening of debate and storytelling on Dec. 4 at 6 p.m. at the MGM Grand Hotel in Detroit located at 1777 Third St.

The event will honor and benefit active duty soldiers, veterans, returning injured heroes, and the U.S. Military All-Star Baseball Team.
