Magglio Ordonez lofted a high fly ball to left field and when it landed, a most amazing thing: the Detroit Tigers in the World Series!

Written off by the entire baseball world only three years ago, the Tigers made it official Saturday. They're back, and on the prowl.

Ordonez hit his second homer of the game, connecting for a three-run shot with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning that lifted Jim Leyland's Tigers over the Oakland Athletics 6-3 for a four-game sweep of the AL championship series.

With the crowd of 42,967 at Comerica Park in delirium, joined by fans watching from distant downtown buildings and all over Michigan, the Tigers celebrated.

The wild-card Tigers now get a week to rest and wait for Game 1 at home next Saturday against either the New York Mets or St. Louis Cardinals. It will be their first Series appearance since winning it all on this exact same date in 1984.

The victory gave Detroit a four-game sweep and its first trip to the World Series since 1984.

That was all I asked from the Tigers, is to blow the Yankees "outta the game"!

They did...and everything else is "gravy".

I'm not a baseball fan but I was happy to hear that the Yankees got beaten.

Did I hear right - that the Tigers coach once coached the Marlins in the World Series? I loved that particular series because the Marlins were the underdogs and they played with such heart...

Jim Leyland is like the Don Cherry of baseball, i.e. career minor league player turned winning coach/manager. He was a player and coach in the tigers minor league system in his early years and always wanted to play in 'the bigs' for the tigers, which is why this run has been so emotional for him. I hope they pull it off.
