Greatest Detroit Sports Moment #1: Goosebusters (1984)

The Tigers won their first World Series since 1968. Kirk Gibson launched two home runs in the deciding Game Five. His second homer came off Hall of Fame stopper Goose Gossage. Gibson threw his arms up in triumph and fans shouted "Goosebusters" as he rounded the bases. Gibson's antics were in response to San Diego's Kurt Bevaqua who acted like a fool after hitting a home run in Game 2. To date, the Tigers have yet to recapture the glory of 1984.
