MVP:
Mickey Lolich
Why the Tigers won: After Denny McLain lost twice to Bob Gibson (Games 1 and 4) and Mickey Lolich threw CG wins (Games 2 and 5), manager Mayo Smith started McLain and Lolich on two days' rest in Games 6 and 7.
Why the Cardinals lost: Timing. Leading 3-1, the Cards faced Lolich twice and McLain once in the last three games, and lost all three.
Memorable moment: Down 3-2 in Game 5, Al Kaline singled in two runs in the seventh to give Detroit the lead; they never trailed in any inning of the series again.
Key stat: 68. The number of big league innings Mickey Stanley had played at shortstop before Mayo Smith made Stanley his everyday SS in the World Series.
