In 1940, the Detroit Tigers lost in the World Series to the Cincinnati Reds in seven games. Notably, Hank Greenberg won the second of his two AL MVP Awards that year (1935, 1940). Greenberg played the first twelve of his thirteen seasons in the MLB with the Tigers (1930, 1933-41, 1945-46). During his time in the league, Greenberg was a 5x All-Star and 4x AL home run leader. Earl Averill was a 6x All-Star whose promising career was cut short by back injuries. He made the news a couple of times for unfortunate reasons, including hitting the ball that broke Dizzy Dean's toe - an injury that ultimately signaled the decline of Dean's career - and boarding a flight for an old-timers' game in the 1960s with his bat in a gun case. Hal Newhouser was a 7x All-Star, and the only pitcher to win back-to-back MVP awards (1944, 1945). Charlie Gehringer was a 6x All-Star, AL MVP (1937), and a finalist for the 1999 Major League Baseball All-Century Team.…
