It was kind of a pick em thing when I was growing up. When I was young the Pistons were the hot team. They had their rivalry with the Bulls and had the Bad boys squad with guys like Bill Lambeer, Isiaha Thomas, Joe Dumars, Dennis Rodman etc...
As far as the tigers go My grandma ran a convenience store, (which my mother ended up taking over for a bit) and I would walk over there after my guitar lessons and we would listen to the Tigers on the radio with my Grandma. My Grandpa on my Dad's side was a diehard Tigers fan too and I would watch games with him as well if I was over there visiting.
That's pretty much how I became a fan of the Tigers. From their I started playing baseball and went nuts collecting the cards.
