Franchise history
The early years
The Detroit Tigers are one of the eight charter members of the American League, and one of four (along with the Boston Red Sox, Chicago White Sox, and Cleveland Indians) to have remained in its original city. They are also the only charter member of the Western League to have remained in its original city.Detroit's first major league entry was the Detroit Wolverines, members of the National League from 1881 through 1888. The nickname came from Michigan's nickname, "The Wolverine State." The nickname "Wolverines" is now associated with the University of Michigan. The Wolverines' best year was 1887, when they won the National League pennant and also won the World Series over the American Association champions, the St. Louis Browns. The Wolverines' top players were Hall of Famers "Big Sam" Thompson and Dan Brouthers. Thompson won the 1887 NL batting championship, and thus is the answer to the trivia question, "Name the only person ever to win the National League batting championship while playing for Detroit."
