In Chronological Order:
1. Detroit: 7 Chisox: 2 (August 8, 1983): First game I remember attending. Larry Herndon homered; Jack Morris beat Jerry Koosman. It was the second game of a DH.
2. Detroit: 8 Twins: 0 (July 14, 1985): Walt Terrell had a no hitter into the 7th. Tom Brunansky broke it up with a double with 2 outs. Herndon, Darrell Evans, and Alan Trammell homered. Terrell beat Frank Viola.
3. Tigers: 4 Blue Jays: 2 (October 2, 1985): Toronto had not clinched the division yet. Morris beat Dave Steib. Darrell Evans hit his 40th homer of the season and Kirk Gibson followed that with an inside the park homer.
4. Tigers: 7 Twins: 6 (October 10, 1987): ALCS Game 3. Tigers are down 2 games to none in the series and down 6-5 in the 8th of Game 3. Jeff Reardon (The Terminator) is pitching. Pat Sheridan hits a 2 run shot. Mike Henneman retires the Twins in the 9th. Tigers are back in the series for 24 hours.
5. Tigers: 3 Boston 1 (Game 1); Tigers: 3 Boston: 2 (Game 2) (August 5, 1988): The longest doubleheader ever. It had several rain delays and I got home at 5 am. Darrell Evans hit the only Tiger homer of the twinbill. I went to the final game of the series that Sunday (8-7-88) as well. Bruce Hurst pitched a 10 inning shutout for Boston and Detroit lost 3-0. Tiger starter Jeff Robinson also pitched into the 10th. When was the last time 2 starters pitched into extras?
6. White Sox: 11 Detroit: 8 (12) and Tigers: 4 Sox: 2 (April 13, 1997): COLDEST GAME EVER!!! I bought pizza to use as a leg warmer. This was colder than the 2006 World Series. I only remember Chris Snopek hitting a big home run and Vince Coleman getting picked off right before Travis Fryman went deep.
7. Boston: 7 Tigers: 4 (August 7, 2004): Pedro struck out 11 and was dominant. Francona pulled him with a 7-2 lead (1 Tiger run was unearned) and Detroit scored off the Sox pen.
8. Detroit: 11 Royals: 2 (April 4, 2005): Dmitry Young hit 3 homers on Opening Day. Notorious Brandon Inge also homered. Bonderman fanned 7 in the win.
9. Tigers: 6 A's: 3 (October 14, 2006): Game 4 of the ALCS. Tigers fall behind 3-0, come back to tie, and then Maggs hits his second homer of the game...a 3 run walk off Pennant Winner. Tigers are going to the Series! They ran around the field, Polanco was wrapped like a mummy, and Kenny Rogers sprayed the crowd with champagne.
10. Tigers: 8 Yankees: 3 (October 7, 2006): Game 4 of the ALDS. Jeremy Bonderman has a perfecto going until he who shall remain nameless opened his mouth...Robinson Cano got a hit leading off the 6th. Tigers win the game and the series anyways. This came after Kenny Rogers amazing start in Game 3. Craig Monroe and Magglio Ordonez homered.
