DETROIT – Delmon Young came up with a big hit whenever the Detroit Tigers needed one during the American League Championship Series and was unanimous pick for Most Valuable Player. The Tigers completed a four-game sweep of the New York Yankees with an 8-1 win on Thursday evening, clinching their 11th American League Pennant. “It’s great, you know,” said Young, who batted .353 (6-for-17) with two home runs in the series. “As a child growing up [in Alabama], your dreams are always of winning Game 7 in the World Series with a walk-off hit. So it’s fun knowing you get to go there, and especially my childhood dream was playing next to Chipper Jones, trying to beat the Yankees in the World Series.”
