Easy choice would be a classic (albeit cliche) late '40's-mid-50's Brooklyn club, since that is what first drew me into baseball history. But for some reason the first team that popped in my head was the '35 Tigers ... and I have no real explanation for that other than the fact that I own a great '35 Tigers throwback hat signed and inscribed as WS champs by Elden Auker, which I obtained through the mail some years back. I've been intrigued by that club ever since.
Steven -- are you aware of any good literature on the team? I'd like to learn more about it, especially after your ringing endorsement. (Or do you just like them because they lost to the Gashouse Gang Cards in '34?!)
