The 2006 Detroit Tigers won the American League Championship Series (ALCS) and therefore represented the American League in the World Series. They lost the series, falling to the St. Louis Cardinals 4 games to 1. The season was their 106th since entering the American League in 1901, and it was their seventh season since opening Comerica Park in 2000. The 2006 team was also the first team since 1993 to finish with a winning record, and the first team since 1987 to make the playoffs.
