In 1984, the Detroit Tigers started the season with a 35-5 record. How many consecutive road wins did they have to start that year?

Jake Alyea

Gardnerville, Nev.

The Tigers were undefeated in 17 consecutive games on the road in 1984, winning two games in Minneapolis, three in Chicago, one in Boston, two in Arlington, three in Cleveland, three in Kansas City and three in Anaheim before losing to the Seattle Mariners, 7-3, on May 25. They also lost their next two games in Seattle by scores of 9-5 and 6-1.

Their impressive start helped them win the American League pennant with a 104-58 record.

To my knowledge, the only natives of Minnesota who are in the Hall of Fame are Chief Bender, Dave Winfield and Paul Molitor.

Are there any other Minnesota natives in the Hall?
