With a walk-off single by Goose Goslin, the Detroit Tigers beat the Chicago Cubs 4-3 in Game 6 of the World Series to earn their first championship. It was the Tigers’ fifth trip to the Fall Classic that had previously lost in 1907, 1908, 1909, and 1934. It would start a year in which Detroit became the City of Champions as the Lions won the NFL Championship in December and the Red Wings won the Stanley Cup the following April.
