The Tigers are back on the road, as they travel to the Great White North in Toronto Ontario, Canada, at Rogers Centre to face the Blue Jays.

In the mid-80s, the Tigers and Blue Jays were two of the best teams in baseball. Detroit was rounding into World Series form and Toronto looked to change its reputation from scrappy expansion team to a title contender.

Detroit jumped out to a 35-5 start in 1984, but the Blue Jays were never too far behind in the AL East standings. The Tigers weren't to be denied that year, winning the World Series.

But then, the rivalry fizzled. The door finally shut when Detroit was shifted to the AL Central in 1998. Now with unbalanced scheduling, the Tigers and Blue Jays play just two series each season.
