With a lineup consisting of Lance Parrish, Kirk Gibson, Alan Trammel and Lou Whitaker, a pitching staff including Jack Morris, Dan Petry and Milt Wilcox (all 17+ game winners), and 1984 Cy Young and AL MVP winner Willie Hernandez out of the bullpen, the Detroit Tigers won 104 games en route to a five-game World Series victory over the San Diego Padres.

     Set atop a 7 ¼ inch diameter base, this Balfour-made World Series trophy is 12 inch high at its peak and features 26 gold-colored pennants around the base, representing each Major League team from the 1984 season. A silver baseball sits in the center, serving as the base holding in place a 1 ½ inch gold ring, atop which sits a gold-colored crown. In front of the silver ball is a press pins, representing the Tigers. The Padres press pin was broken off and not with this piece. The trophy's base is surrounded by a gold band reading “WORLD CHAMPIONS DETROIT TIGERS 1984 SID MONGE”. This trophy was presented to pitcher Sid Monge, who was a member of the 1984 Tigers squad. The base shows some minor chips and wear and parts of it are not adhered to the base, and some of the pennants with the team names are slightly bent or loose from the base. This is a unique piece of baseball history, and a welcome addition to any collection and comes with a LOA from Sid Monge.
