You share my belief that the Tigers and Mickey Lolich (especially) just got lucky in the 1968 World Series? Who saw that coming?
I certainly expected a lot more trouble with converting an outfielder (Mickey Stanley) to a shortstop in the closing days of the season to get Ray Oyler out of the lineup. But that also went pretty smooth.

But give the Tigers credit - they came back from 3 - 1 down to win.
