Victory Champagne For The Detroit Tigers
DETROIT <^*>—The champagne
bottles were cleared away and
the grass and outfield fences at
Tiger Stadium were repaired
Wednesday in the wake of an
emotionally exhausting celebration
of the Detroit Tigers’ first Ameri
can League pennant in 23 years.
Thousands of Tiger fans cele
brated at the ball park and in
downtown Detroit after the Ti
gers wrapped up their American
League title with a 21 victory
over the New- York Yankees
Tuesday night.
Usually sedate Tiger owner
John Fetzer found himself dump
ed in the Tigers’ whirlpool bath
and Manager Mayo Smith got the
same treatment as the Tigers
celebrated by tossing players,
newsmen and anyone else they
could get hold of into the whirl
pool or dousing them with cham
pagne.
Thousands of the 46,000 fans
who saw the Tigers’ pennant
clincher rushed onto the field to
mob the players.
Tiger officials said large sec
tions of sod were stripped from
the playing field. Fans carried
home in triumph an estimated
300 box seats. Still others knocked
part of the right and left field
lower fences loose.
Detroit police posted two of
ficers atop home plate and they
repulsed a few fans who had
designs on digging it up. The fans
then tried to dig up a pitchers’
warmup rubber but found it was
in too deep.
“These people were not mean
. . . they were just out for a good
time and a long awaited celebra
tion,” a Tiger spokesman said.
Police would make no estimate
of the number of Tiger fans who
milled about on streets, stopping
traffic and chanting “ Go, Go,
Tigers, Go, Go” in unison as they
climbed atop car roofs, trucks or
any other vantage point.
All was peace and brotherly
love in the Tiger dressing room
as thoughts turned occasionally
to the upcoming World Series
and the St. Louis Cardinals. Tiger
Manager Smith and his Tuesday
night winning pitcher Joe Spar-
ma, who had a minor tiff during
the regular season, took turns
saying nice things about each
other.
