Globally, 1984 is probably best known as the title of George Orwell’s classic novel. But the year has a different significance in everyone’s heart. For the history buff it was the year Reagan won the presidential election by a landslide over Walter Mondale. In 1984 the music lover saw Bruce Springsteen release Born in the USA, Prince release Purple Rain, and Michael Jackson win 8 Grammys. For the weird-useless-trivial knowledge guru, 1984 was the year John DeLorean was acquitted of cocaine charges. And, most importantly for this site, sports fans saw Los Angeles host the Summer Olympics, the first 64 team Men’s NCAA Basketball Tournament, and… drum-roll please… The Detroit Tigers win the 1984 World Series.
So what better do 3 guys who grew up in the Detroit area have to do but write about and discuss the current Tigers squad in hopes that they can bring the Glory Days back to Motown. Here’s to this year’s team Restoring the Roar of 1984!

![Rick Porcello gave up five hits in seven innings on Sunday. He earned his official first win of his career. Porcello had three strikeouts, no walks and retired the final 14 batters he faced.
Two weeks into the season, I think we are all pleased at the productivity of the starting rotation.
ps.
zumaya could be back very soon, with bonderman and willis (holding my breath) soon behind [http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=4081510]](http://24.media.tumblr.com/jeDRWVj6pmivgrhyUHtt9hb4o1_500.png)
