The 1984 World Series was a battle of sorts between the multi-million dollar American fast-food chains. Domino's Pizza founder Tom Monagan owned the Tigers while McDonald's founder Ray Kroc, who died several months before the 1984 World Series, owned the Padres. It was also a rematch between managers Sparky Anderson (Detroit) and Dick Williams (San Diego). Anderson and Williams previously faced off in the 1972 World Series between Anderson's Cincinnati Red's and Williams' Oakland Athletics. The Tigers went on to win the series in only five games. This marvelous memento of that triumph measures 12" high and features 24 gold flags (one for each team) surrounding a flashy baseball motif. Tigers (A.L. Champs and World Champs) and Padres (N.L. Champs) World Series pins sit mounted on a solid black base above a circular gold nameplate which reads, "World Series Champions, Detroit Tigers, 1984." EX-MT condition with magnificent potential for display.
