Detroit 6; Oakland 3 ...9:11 pm
The Detroit Tigers are now the American League Champions, having swept the Oakland Athletics in the best-of-seven series — by four games to zero.
They now advance to the World Series — where they will face the winner of the current National League Championship Series which is still being contested by the St. Louis Cardinals and the New York Mets.
The Tigers won in the most dramatic fashion possible — a walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth inning, with two men on base, instantly turning a 3-3 tie into a 6-3 win. Although the final game was closely fought, Detroit clearly dominated the Oakland Athletics in the series overall.
This qualifies for coverage on this site because the Detroit Tigers are Bob Dylan’s 2006 baseball pick, according to his August interview with Rolling Stone magazine. Dylan’s “baseball prophet” status therefore remains unassailable at this point.
