 The 1934 Detroit Tigers, shown in a team photo, also boasted a formidable pitching staff led by Lynwood "Schoolboy" Rowe. In 1934, Rowe won 16 consecutive games, which tied the American League record set by Walter Johnson, Smokey Joe Wood, and Lefty Grove. Rowe won Game 2 of the 1934 Series in 12 innings, shutting out the Cardinals after the fourth inning and retiring 22 consecutive batters at one point.
