TIGERS YEAR-BY-YEAR RESULTS<br />
IN THE NATIONAL LEAGUE<br />
The first major league Detroit franchise, at the time known as the Wolverines, was a member of the National League from 1881 through 1888.<br />
The 1887 Wolverines, led by Hall-of-Famer Dan Brouthers, won the franchise’s only National League pennant by three and one-half games over the<br />
Philadelphia Phillies. They subsequently engaged the St. Louis Browns, champions of the American Association, in the longest World Series ever. Detroit<br />
won 10 of the 15 series games, which were played in 10 different cities over a 16-day period.<br />
Detroit dropped out of the major leagues after the 1888 season, returning as a charter member of the American League in 1901.<br />
