The Pitcher with the most wins in the 1980s, Jack Morris was the Tigers’ ace for a full decade.  Morris and his split-fingered fastball would hurl the Tigers to the 1984 World Series and would go the All-Star Game four times as a Tiger. 

While Morris did not make the Baseball Hall of Fame through the regular method, he did eventually enter via the Veterans Committee in 2018.  One of the best clutch pitchers ever, Morris would later win three other World Series rings (one with Minnesota and two with Toronto).  With the Tigers, Morris pitched a no-hitter, went 198-150, and had 1,980 Strikeouts.  The Veteran's Committee inducted Morris into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2018, and the Tigers responded by retiring his number 47.
