When the Tigers won the American League Championship in 1934, a tune entitled "Tigers on Parade" was briefly popular. In September, 1968 when the Tigers were on their way to League and World Championships, a tune entitled "Go Get 'Em Tigers" was played often on local radio stations. This song is still played at Comerica after Tiger victories. Does any one know where I could find a recording of these two baseball songs? Thank you very much. | ||

Ron, I very much doubt that either would be commercially available now. Do The Tigers have a website? - you'd probably get an answer to your question on their message board. Davie | ||
