Tiger of the Year Award

Tiger of the Year Award

The Tiger of the Year has been awarded annually since 1965 and are receipients are determined through a vote by members of the Detroit Chapter of the Baseball Writers' Association of America.

"Anybody can hit in this lineup (the 2007 Detroit Tigers). We don't strike out that much, which is pretty good. We hit the ball everywhere. We're going to hit for average, but we have guys that can hit a long way." - Magglio Ordonez on ThinkExist.com
