The Detroit Tigers’ 2014 season certainly had its ups and downs. During a roller coaster ride of a year, Detroit started the campaign with an offseason full of hope and promise. Then the roller coaster officially started.
The Tigers experienced more highs and lows than most. They went from a runaway division favorite to being in danger of missing the playoffs. In the end, thanks to some key performances and acquisitions, the team pulled out a fourth consecutive American League Central title.
Unfortunately, the success found in the division did not carry over to the playoffs as Detroit was swept by Baltimore in three games.
Here are some of those high and low points, or in other words, the most defining moments of the season.
