Memorable moment: In Game 6, Goose Goslin's single in the bottom of the ninth scored Mickey Cochrane to clinch the Tigers' first-ever World Series title.
Key stat: .050. The batting average (1-for-20) of Marv Owen, who replaced the Tigers' Hall of Fame first baseman Hank Greenberg (broken wrist) in Game 2.
