In the end, the Yankees were a bunch of grumpy giants staring at a broken beanstalk. And the Tigers? They didn't tiptoe past the richest team in baseball. They stomped it, kicked it and stole its jewelry, then waved a happy good-bye and headed on down the playoff road.
Yankees go home.
Tigers go on.
Read it and blink. Read it and shake your head. Read it and ask, "Who are these guys in the Detroit uniforms?" Read it and remember just three seasons ago, when this team was in danger of sinking below oblivion.
Read it and remember, because remembering is what made this happen.
