With a heavy Motown bias:
Joe Louis - especially knocking out Max Schmeling
Ty Cobb
Game 6 of the 1935 World Series (Tigers beat the Cubs for their first modern championship)
Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig at Tiger Stadium
Mark Fidrych in 1976 (saw him later but he was never the same)
Howe, Abel, and Lindsey (the production line)
And my musical entry: The Who with Keith Moon at the Grande Ballroom in Detroit
