The Detroit sports scene is not exactly in a great spot as we speak but that does not mean that we do not have one of the greatest sports towns in the world.
And it certainly does not mean that we have not had some amazing moments throughout the years.
On Friday, the Stoney & Jansen with Heather show on 97.1 the Ticket tweeted out a poll in which they asked, “What is the greatest playoff moment in Detroit sports history?”
The options given were the following:
Steve Yzerman’s Game 7 OT Goal vs. the Blues
Magglio Ordonez’s walk-off home run vs. the Athletics
Tayshaun Prince’s epic block vs. the Pacers
The Red Wings chasing Patrick Roy in Game 7
As you can see below, the voting has ended and Magglio’s walk-off home run to send the Detroit Tigers to the World Series won with 41.4% of the vote.
As noted, Jon Jansen believes Kirk Gibson‘s home run off Goose Gossage should have been included in the vote.
I wanted Gibby in '84 and his HR off the Goose.
