1935 World Series Program and Ticket

 In 1935, the Tigers earned a spot in the World Series for the fifth time in their history. On this day, the Tigers were facing the Chicago Cubs for the third time in the series.  The Cubs had twice before crushed their hopes.  In game one, the Cubs shut out the Tigers 3-0 at home and they feared another disappointment at the hands of the Cubs.  But the Tigers tied the series in Game 2 with an 8-3 win.  The Tigers won Games 3 and 4, but the Cubs came back in Game 5 to stay alive.  The Tigers won Game 6 with a score of 4-3 to become the World Champions for the first time!
