Tigers'84 ivivuiJiometownlife.com celebration shows hope ohn Jakcsy of Dearborn A Distant Thunder' has fond memories of Jthe 1984 Detroit Tigers. "It brings back wonderful memories of a spectacular team that brought a lot of pride and respect to our town," he said of last Sunday's celebra- tion of the 20th year since the Tigers won the World Series. Jakcsy, a member of Lake Pointe Bible Church in Plymouth Township, was among the 32,751 baseball fans at the June 27 celebration at Comerica Park. The Tigers ended the game against the Arizona Diamondbacks in style, with Carlos Pena hitting a grand slam for a 9-5 Tigers victory. Prior to the game, a cere- mony marked the accomplish- ments of the '84 team. The Hart Plaza fireworks shootings still dominated the news, but didn't keep a number of fans, urban and suburban, from finding their way to Comerica.
