Teams Detroit Tigers 2002 Season Recap

From the very beginning off the season it was clear it was going to be a dreadful season as Manager Phil Garner is fired in the middle of an awful 0-11 start. Under his replacement Luis Puljos the Tigers would not fare much better as the Tigers finished the season on a losing note as well winning just 6 of their last 36 games to finish in last place with a hideous 55-106 record. The awful season would also see an end of an era as longtime announcer Ernie Harwell retires at season's end.
